Verging on Delirious

Why so serious,

the nurse asks,

you’re verging on delirious.

Your symptoms are curious,

the doctor says,

why aren’t you furious?

The signs so various,

the therapist quips,

damned nearly nefarious.

All the while—

I sit there smiling,

hiding my cards,

watching the diagnoses piling,

knowing that my game

has completely f-ed up their precious,

red-tape filing.
