Clifton Jackness one of the best doctors
I’ve ever met maybe even one of the best people
(I am not counting old friends Connie and David here.
Wonderful too) he treats my Hashimoto’s
(what a name for an autoimmune disease all diseases
have peculiar names and maybe if we called them
something like Ice Cream Sundae we’d feel better)
I am going to Clifton Jackness to get blood tests
and as a reward I go into his own office
to discuss Anything at All
Clifton Jackness can talk and when I want to talk about
my blood test results occasional irregular numbers
a little high a little low he says
It’s All Those Blips That Make Us Human.
I have ice cream sundae too.
