Sometimes You Just Have To Lean Back And Take It

Last night I didn’t pray
because I never pray
but I hoped. I hoped

that what they said
would come to pass
wouldn’t come to pass

which then struck me as being
as futile as hoping (praying)
praying (hoping)

that your doctor won’t tell you
what you don’t want him to tell you
when sometimes he has no choice

but to tell you
what you don’t want him to tell you
so you stagger out

shaken

thinking,

as you stagger out,
‘Did he really say that?
Did he really say that?’
