Abundant Health

She greeted me at the door with one reddened eye

seemed like more of a salon than a clinic

fake cheesy waterfall paintings

Jesus quotes throughout

too close to the massage parlors for me

felt dirty

sitting alone in the booth

She said “had you said aaaaaahhh when I inserted this,

there’d be no more sessions for you

she turned on the machine and left me alone

as the water pushed

Sounds of sucking water

and big bubbles

actually freeing to just let go

to shit yourself without consequence

Made me look forward to being a geriatric

Does she sterilizes the tubes

The bedding

The gowns

The equipment

It wasn’t nearly as painful as the first time.

But nowhere near as pleasant either.
