To Be an Internist


“How are you?”
I ask, as I scour her med list
– 23 items –
Searching for a culprit for vague chronic
dizziness.

“Had my knee replaced. It’s changed
my life.”
I smile.

Learning we will never
Be rain in a drought.
But rather, like gravity,
Seldom noticed,
Gently trying to keep things from falling
apart.
