It’s called apheresis
it’s the thing––
I have a friend you should see in Santa Rosa
the doctor in the purple shirt says
a blood cleanings without
crystals
on the windowsill
a $4000 dollar treatment
an appointment in a week
and if it works––
the language of medicine
once Greek
transposed Latin and English
to become a militarized
word
inventing scenarios
graphically understood
the 17th century
introduced:
battle, enemy
and attack
declaring war against
nature
of the body
of the land
man’s attempt to
disband
fathers of Olympus
who
wared their own
