Tell me Mr. Doctor, tell me please, because I really must know.
When is it me, and when is it the poison?
Where do we draw the line, Mr. Doctor?
Can you mark it with a marker on my leg and arm, and cut if off?
If you cut it off, will the poison be gone, Mr. Doctor?
Can you paint with a broken arm?
Might the lines and contours be more exact, more complete?
Should we cut off a broken arm, Mr. Doctor?
Should we cut off each arm, each limb?
Will that help, Mr. Doctor?
Will I still be, if we cut off each arm, each leg; the torso, the head; and leave just an eye to see what’s left?
If we remove the eye too, Mr. Doctor,
Will I still be?
