sinoniem.


medicine is no exact science,

but Doctor Physician’s patients still always die.



one would think the line between surgery and slice/dice would be less fine.



it takes a steady hand to navigate amalgamous waters,

let alone the use of a scalpel.

the [ ] doctor blames Giles de Tourettes for his difficulties in the OR,

but a playwright would likely pinpoint motivation as the main concern;

and there’s no room at the table for practitioners and their chips. 



and then there’s the mask to consider -

simply works to muffle it,

and will never conceal his eyes.


those unnervingly blood red eyes.

not respond to it.

perhaps that’s part of the problem.

Dr. Physician’s ‘patients’ will never know.
