A Clinician’s Eye
With a clinician’s eye
My plumber has
a variegated mole on his left check
that needs attention
And the neighbor has lost
Perhaps a future along with
too much weight in the 6 months
since I have last seen her
And the rash on the boy
on the cheek
in check-
out line
pairs well
with his slight wheezing
and shiners
But I keep my tools cast down
to myself
Minding my own clinical business
