Dream Song 67: I dont operate often. When I do

 I don't operate often.
 When I do,
persons take note.

Nurses look amazed.
 They pale.

The patient is brought back to life, or so.

The reason I don't do this more (I quote)
is: I have a living to fail—

because of my wife & son—to keep from earning.

—Mr Bones, I sees that.

They for these operations thanks you, what?
not pays you.
 —Right.

You have seldom been so understanding.

Now there is further a difficulty with the light:

I am obliged to perform in complete darkness
operations of great delicacy
on my self.

—Mr Bones, you terrifies me.

No wonder they didn't pay you.
 Will you die?
—My
 friend, I succeeded.
 Later.
