They are playing Mazzy Star
in this doctor's office.
I am here to make sure I don't have cancer.
Please don't let me die in Florida, I say.
Okay, the receptionist says,
but you are in Brooklyn.
I know, I just want it on record,
but the soundtrack suits my demise just fine.
Doctor comes in and says
"Close some tabs in your life."
Can I still live and kill the clock?
Yes, he says, with a prescription.
Go live life away from your online existence.
The only time it requires: exhilaration.
