the doctors' list

The Doctors' List

I'd like to compile a list,

of the doctors my parents have visited,

describing their waiting rooms,

and the fantasies expressed there:

these doctors' taste in art,

and those doctors' contempt for their patients,

compelling the captive audience,

to see and hear bastard images of medical knowledge,

or twisted echoes of power,

all performed on colorful shining screens,

contemporary high tech instruments

of torture and control.

Most doctors are fans of 1984,

--and don't even know it.
