Diagnosis

In general your condition is very good.
Doctors ring you up and all is well.
They love you, but are you therefore unafraid?

Around the corner swings a blade
That gleams in the anesthetic smell.
In general your condition is rather bad.

Passing voices whisper you are mad.
You see them in the mirrors on the wall.
They love you, but are you therefore unafraid?

When you go out you leave your bed unmade.
One writes your maiden name upon a shell.
In general your condition is rather good.

You’ve made a lovely mask of painted wood
Too many friends and people want to feel.
They love you, but are you therefore unafraid?

The angels play a song and very sad
Upon the universe’s shattered bell.
In general your condition is very bad.
They love you, but are you therefore unafraid?
