Poking, pressing... some gentle with cold instruments, others with morgued souls... most with warm wallets, their wads neatly compressed. Reduced to their first-year residencies, doctors recite statistics. You, the sterile textbook specimen, the clear and concise demographic chart. Your veins converge; the upswing curve representing alarming rates of increase; under duress, will radioactively thrive while your will teeters between the quit and the fight. The doctors, however, will lose this one. Having yet to discover humanity, they treat you as a stroke of their genius and an interesting read. < !signature--> ...chanson~ Music, tonal clear & pure, Caresses the harshest of curves. -me, Song of Gesture [This message has been edited by chansondegeste (edited 10-19-2000).] |

Ouch! Looks like this is one exam the doctor flunked! I hope you find a better one whose heart is warmer than the wallet! To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Good Morning kcsgrandma. . . This wasn't about me personally. After talking to friends, they feel their health care providers leave the caring out of the equation sometimes. ...chanson~ Music, tonal clear & pure, Caresses the harshest of curves. -me, Song of Gesture |

On the contrary, Chanson, I think writing in a snit can actually lead to some pretty good poetry and I think this is very good! Denise |

I agree denise, some of my best writings come when I'm in a snit or really upset about something...it like the energy of the emotions forces the thoughts out with clarity. -lady |

Denise. . . Thank you Lady. . . Thank you again You both may be right. The fire fueled by a spark of high emotion most often does give that punch to a poem. ...chanson~ Music, tonal clear & pure, Caresses the harshest of curves. -me, Song of Gesture |
