I am obsessed
funny enough
with someone
who expressed
unexpected
feelings
of tenderness

my mouth agape
as a masked man
spoke words
of wisdom
into the curvature
of my right ear

while I
lie supine
for deeply
needed
cleanings
and healing
treatments

offering
prescriptives
of wellness
and much
better health

instruments
at the ready
well educated
well read
decked
in protective
yellow...
