4170. IT CAN'T BE SAID

IT CAN'T BE SAID
It can't be said bones have marrow,
it can't be noted at all - the internal
stuff is all unseen, and anyway it's
just what we call it; I'm not sure we'd
agree. This entire 'doctor' thing is too
flimsy : medical doctors at one end
are no more than flamboyant
medicine men from days of old :
the little fat ones peddling elixirs
and the fiery old ones, on some
savannah somewhere, yelling at
the midnight sky and hurling oaths
to the heavens above them while
shrieking like men possessed
