Oh Doctor Where Art Thou?


encourage cancer for your workers

drone buzz bleeding your ear

vomit is ready and waiting

you only need to push a button

 

looking up to demons

looking down at nothing

tobacco smells comfort souls

up until the end

 

each iconoclast borrows

from the last

the fiddler on the roof

fell off and is no more

 

vacancy in the brain

raining tears

your skull is covered red

you cannot take care of others

 

you are withering yourself

write a prescription

and pay the same as us

this whiteness lacks purity

 

ignore all humans

whilst spewing ruinous pleasure

anything is better

everything is

About Sean Lynch
Sean Lynch's work is crudely balanced between the visceral and cerebral. Lamont B. Steptoe has described Lynch’s writing as having a precociousness that is “observant and compassionate”.

  1. The fiddler fell off the roof? Oh no! Call the Rabbi, Yente the Matchmaker, and Tevye the Milkman. One of them might know what to do!
