The Clinic

It started out innocently enough
as a hiccup
like the kind you get
when you drink too much
and that is one road
I had traveled many times
like the one you take to work
some of the memories remain
others are fuzzy
like driving in a fog

Then I started choking on my food
thought a lifetime of eating too fast
had caught up to me
the restaurant life will do that to you

a little bit of advice
slow down
life is short
enjoy the food you eat

The first Dr I saw ( If you could call her that
you never see the Dr anymore)
thought I was crazy
for coming to see her
about hiccups

The second Dr I saw
a month or so later....
procrastinating
because of my first experience
Instantly knew
something was wrong
and soon I was to find out
just how wrong it was
