16. What the Doctor Saidby Raymond Carver #7 He said it doesn't look good 
 he said it looks bad in fact real bad 
he said I counted thirty-two of them on one lung before 
 I quit counting them 
 I said I'm glad I wouldn't want to know 
 about any more being there than that 
 he said are you a religious man do you kneel down 
 in forest groves and let yourself ask for help 
 when you come to a waterfall 
 mist blowing against your face and arms 
 do you stop and ask for understanding at those moments 
I said not yet but I intend to start today 
 he said I'm real sorry he said 
 I wish I had some other kind of news to give you 
 I said Amen and he said something else 
 I didn't catch and not knowing what else to do 
 and not wanting him to have to repeat it 
 and me to have to fully digest it 
 I just looked at him 
 for a minute and he looked back it was then 
 I jumped up and shook hands with this man who'd just given me something no one else on earth had ever given me 
I may have even thanked him habit being so strong
