No can do. I am
doctor not of medicine,
but Latinity.
I am the future,
singular, indicative.
The first person. What
do you take me for?
If is a real condition.
If I’m a pill, then
you are double blind.
What you don’t know can’t hurt you.
Spoonful of sugar,
it’s all in your head,
this dendritic alchemy
of pain. Nothing works.
