today I want my children’s pediatrician to love me

Emerald Scott

first he’ll tell me my kids are fine despite the flu
and broken wrists and unexplained diarrhea

then I’ll burrow into his matter-
of-fact nature and his armpit
which must be upscale post-racquetball musty

I’ll make him forget medical school
send him back to his roots
back to the Porsche poster that hung in his New England boy bedroom
the 70s Playboys stashed under his mattress
his first trip to California full of booze and pussy

later he’ll push back my frosted strands
tell me my mind is sweet, my taste is sharp
laugh at the mix-up
then hike deep into my admiration

today love
is acceptance from a man like that
