& i'm a master
spin doctor ready to
bandage your hopes &
dreams
with a special twist

& surgically dissect your
every wish

& tell me when i put you
under
if you ever thought that
love
could be like this

fuzzy & you're losing
consciousness, but i've
already put the scalpel
in your hand
in case you need it

don't be afraid to slice
& peel away the skin--
i'm still on call
even when
the mask has been replaced

i'm a master
spin doctor ready to
watch you twist away

Author's Note: really, you don't need to comment on this poem, i know it's lacking, but i really needed to spill some of these words...
