Dr. Xuan-Mai

I know I’m a bear of very little brain.
How bad will my vision get?
Xuan-Mai is such a pretty name!

Can’t make things out as plain
as I used to—musical notes.
Not a bear of very much brain

at all, but I walked into Modern
Eyewear and made an appointment.
The doctor, Xuan-Mai,

made me talk about my vision
problems until she understood,
and me being a bear of very little brain,

she scolded me for not complaining
more clearly to the other doctors. I submitted
to the strong brain of Xuan-Mai.

Dr. Xuan-Mai wore a sleek tight-fitting
black-leather suit, tall black-heeled shoes.
I am a bear of very little brain.
Xuan-Mai is such a pretty name!
