Doctor Do-it-Yourself
The online medical
Diagnosis website
Offers worst-case scenerios:
Hermits and witches
With no common sense-
They chose not to seek
Help
Until they were rare specimens,
Wonderful abominations, spectacles
For the Journal Circus.
I’m looking for examples
Of skin cancer (it’s not in my family)
But a mole behind my ear is alive in my mind,
And my urologist father says, “Get it checked.”
I compare it to these fists of steaming pustules on
The necks and noses of the anonymous (dead), contributers
To a growing community of hypochondriacs,
a new type of Mildew to research online.
