Mosquito

Mosquito is a poorly-trained doctor
all examinations he failed
no internship he did
he carries needles in his mouth
injects clients to become patients
and treats patients to become tombs
his clinic is in the bush
referral hospital 
in people’s houses
pharmaceutical factory
in stagnant pools
