For the Sake

Max Winter

I am your doctor.

You are my patient.

This is my office.

You have a problem.

Take off your clothes.

I am a doctor.

You are a patient.

There is a problem.

This is your time.

There is a fee.

Take off your clothes.

I’m not a patient.

I am a doctor.

You are a problem.

Breathe in, breathe out.

You’re not a doctor.

I am a doctor.

There is a fee.

Breathe in, breathe out.

You have a problem.

This is the solution.

You are a patient.

Please drop your drawers.

Would you like a nurse?

I am a patient.

You are a doctor.

I am your drawers.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, hold it.

Hold it. Thank you.

Please raise your drawers.

Please open your mouth.

There is a problem.

There is a doctor.

You are the doctor.

Here are the treatments.

Half are by mouth.

Half are by air.

Half are by doctor.

Half are by billing.

I am the patient.

This is your smock.

Please drop your drawers.

Please spread your cheeks.

Please drop your doctor.

Please take your treatments.

I am your treatment.

I am your patient.

Please spread your patience.

I am your cheeks.

I cough, you cough.

Cough in, cough out.

I am your heartbeat.

These are your patients.

I am your billing.

I am your secretary.

Would you like to see Doctor?

Please spread your cheeks.

I am your patient.

I am your doctor.

I am your treatment.

I am your problem.
