Raymond Clevie Carver - What The Doctor Said

He said it doesn't look good br he said it looks bad in fact real bad br he said I counted thirty-two of them on one lung before br I quit counting them br I said I'm glad I wouldn't want to know br about any more being there than that br he said are you a religious man do you kneel down br in forest groves and let yourself ask for help br when you come to a waterfall br mist blowing against your face and arms br do you stop and ask for understanding at those moments br I said not yet but I intend to start today br he said I'm real sorry he said br I wish I had some other kind of news to give you br I said Amen and he said something else br I didn't catch and not knowing what else to do br and not wanting him to have to repeat it br and me to have to fully digest it br I just looked at him br for a minute and he looked back it was then br I jumped up and shook hands with this man who'd just given me br something no one else on earth had ever given me br I may have even thanked him habit being so strong br br br Anonymous submission.
