Surgery
Stick a flashlight in my mouth and illuminate my cheeks.
Follow the veins the spread out like tributaries.
Dip your hands in water and dry them with a rag.
Take the scalpel.
Don't shake, don't cry.
Don't shake, don't cry. Find the problem.
Tell me the story of the fish that saved your life the time you almost drowned in the Hudson.
Seperate the wheat from the chaff and the muscle from the fat.
We're two for the books.
I'm cut from the same cloth as you.
Take me to the river where the gulls fight over scraps.
Set me in a rowboat, give me a cigarette.
Just one strong, steady push and the tide will drag me out.
I'm off to find that fish so he can save my life.
