The Listenary

You want to feel strong—strong in the gut, strong in the spine, so you can carry yourself in a way that shows you mean business. You want to feel positive and energetic to take on the day and your dreams.

Coffee helps for awhile, or maybe even a cigarette. The doctor helps, but you get disappointed in how little the doctor listens to your deep craving to feel a lot better.

Maybe medicine needs something else; so you try alternative medicine. There’s always someone new out there ready to tell you what’s wrong with you and what’s good for you, but you discover few of them agree with one another.

It seems that it would be possible to pursue diagnoses and prescriptions all the way to the grave.
