At the Cardiologist

I have been to my heart doctor
she noticed I had been smoking and banged a delicate 
fist on the table and her stethoscope danced over her 
firm breasts,  she was furious,
did not listen to my lame excuses that a cigarette  
was given to me the day before and polite as I`m 
couldn`t say no. She was not mollified.
What do I know perhaps she is worried by her son? 
who doesn`t want to be a doctor.?
The tests I had shown no avers affect, she calmed 
down and I gave her a copy of my latest book:
“alternative poetry and political opinions.” 
I promised to not smoke again and gave her my latest book.
