Yeah, Dr Maas. Doc.
Once upon a time I had been a veterinary practitioner.
Yeah, Dr Maas. Doc. All species and manner and sizes of animals.
Except then ... ... after my leaving hospital nursing.
Not, o'course, of the animals known as human beings.
Some of this time I also was married. Per ... ... the DOMINION of religion, thus legally as well.
To a T A K E R. To someone most skilled at A P R O V E C H A R. OF the Patriarchy.
Because the Taker was fired for dereliction of his duties inside the program
within the Very Middle of his residency as a medical doctor still
in training, THEN I ... ... had had to leave my private veterinary practicing there
and MOVE five states' distance and 963 miles AWAY ... ... TO the next point
OF his trying to finish up his residency somewhere else.
The very next early January ( y1983 ), six months' time later, I received in the USPS mails
a New Year's greeting card and letter from my former Boss,
the owner of and my colleague at the Valley Animal Hospital's practice back East.
" We miss you ! " the Boss had written. " The clients miss you
and want you back, " he wrote. " We know you 'ad had
to leave us, but we sure wish you were here. Again. "
That former Spouse, the Taker, read that letter which was written
to and about ... ... me. And had of it, directly in to my one, somewhat - working ear,
... ... one remark. Before he turned his back. And walked away.
" When Dr Leon R____ wrote this, Pussy ? About you ? He was drunk. "
Your body is not a first aid - kit
ReplyDeletefor broken people
and damaged brains
and hearts that are too tired
to fix themselves.
Your heart is not a hospital
to rejuvenate
and spend all of its life blood
on other people’s problems
and sadnesses.
You have been created
from the blood
of incalculable planets
and immense supernovas
and infinite constellations.
And they did not spend years
painting your core
into masterpiece - like existence
for you to waste it on someone
who does not appreciate you.
