when well enough becomes
a lie
coverup
lika an old television drama
doc walks in
he smiles
everyone looks around the room
reassurances
yet suddenly he
the doc
notices something outside
the window
– an opportunity –
to sidetrack the meaning.
Doc says outloud
everyone can hear.
the landscape has begun to change.
sad really, your life is no longer your own.
the Doc glances back at all the people
in the room … waiting on his answer.
suddenly little Jimmy and Alice look at each other,
his beautiful smile has become all of our pain.
