Stress Therapy

Time, time, time, time, the clock
vaccinates us.
and then even that lacks
prophylaxis.
 
Ticktock-pockmarked, stricken
by such strokes, we
get sick of prescriptions
which work solely
 
on the body.
Systole diastole—
It is by its very
 
intermittency
that the heart knows
itself to be an I.
