scream if you need me

go ahead,

twist and writhe

and I’ll dig out the contract and a pen

then we can discuss the disclaimer

on CPR

oh

oh, and I forgot to say

I don’t do gunshot wounds

they’re too-

too-

look

here’s the thing, I could hit your spine

with the scalpel

if I’m having an off day

or, you see,

something like that

if I don’t get my coffee

and I’m not fond of malpractice suits

they suck the life

right

out of you

so,

so why don’t you just walk on over

to the hospital across the street?

if you hurry,

you won’t have to wait for

the light
