post-op

There'd be no
"after" photos
for you to post online
as a living billboard
touting your good judgment

Your camera was broken
in Michigan
or something like that

Perhaps
you just didn't want to
document
the damage you did
when I wasn't paying
close enough attention;
if you ignored it
long enough
it'd go away

And if not,
you'd move your practice again
and change your name

The wound would either heal
or not;
you didn't like
dealing with
dead people
asking to be revived
or holes that didn't stop
bleeding
