Call the Doctor

“Call the doctor,” they said 

“It will be fine,” they said 

Talking 

On the phone 

One ring, two rings

Heart racing

I’ve rehearsed what to say 

I know it by heart 

And then 

A voice

She talks 

I talk 

And then 

It’s over 

Appointment scheduled 

That’s it?

Hey, I did it 

I adulted 

And I didn’t die 

Look at me go
