My Doctor

August 8, 2023

My doctor,
Who's a specialist
I can't even pronounce,
Asks me in a very professional tobe
To describe my pain.
How to tag pain that's so diffuse?

I passed a huge ugly
Container of street tar;
It was a hot sticky day.
The putrid smell
Reminded me immediately
Of my pain.
Words can't describe it--
That smell can.
