SICKO

 The doctor said, 

‘the pure products of America

go crazy’

you would know that better than most

if you weren’t so damn crazy

but I’ll say this for you

you are robust in your naked criminality

your  lust and puerile prodigality

your disease

whatever it is

is having a good ride

 

but there is no Asclepius with a cure

for your sovereign sickness

the doctor's got  no ℞ on his pad

for the thing that ails

your slowly boiling self

you’ll just have to lobster it out
