(to Someone Elsie)
The pure products of America
go crazy--
says the Doctor
you would know that better than most
if you weren't so damn crazy
but I'll say this about you:
you are robust
in your criminality
vital in your lust
and prodigality
your disease
whatever it is
is having a good ride
but there is no Asclepius
for your sovereign sickness
and the Doctor has no Rx
for the thing that ails
your slowly boiling self
but at least his advice
was free
(and I say
his opinion
is good)
