The Sick Man
1.
The sick man is a wave
His body is
Curves circles and lines
Of analysis
2.
The sick man knoweth
His 1, 2, 3
Above his bed hangeth
A terminal degree
3.
The sick man lies
Stick-man flat
He feels the warmth
Of his stick-ball bat
4.
The stick man is an analyst
The stick man is an ear, nose and throat specialist
He is in a lot of pain
He says to himself, What is pain
5.
Pain is like bread
Bread is like born
Born is like bear
Bear is like pain
6.
What is the sick man himself like?
The sick man is like the Neva
Running over her granite shelf
He accompanies himself
On a wah-wah
7.
The sick man divides
to a stick, a moan
The stick moan is alone
The shtick moan is a loan
8.
He says to the orderly, What is pain
Pain is like 17
17 is like 352
352 is like 8
Must be something I ate
9.
The orderly says
You're being disorderly
The shtick moan behaves according to his denomination
He says nothing
10.
The orderly says
Heal yourself, physician
If not, we have the Inquisition
To aid you.
~ Eugene Ostashevsky
