Show me 

I have been flying under the radar
for a long time
I want to be visible
on screen
maybe
I want to teach
Residents
Medical students


I want them to love rural medicine
as I love it
I am a pterodactyl
wanting to rise
among the AI satellites
and say
Use the telephone to reach other doctors
Listen to your patient
Listen to what they don't say
Listen to the pieces that don't fit
Let the patient teach you
Why are they really here?
It's not always a pill
Sometimes it is just
So that someone will listen
to the feelings
that our culture
denigrates
ignores
vilifies
hates
Listen
You might turn in to a pterodactyl too
Or a cross
between a modern AI manipulator
and a pterodactyl
It is good to have more tools
than a hammer
Let me show you mine
And you
show me yours

The Ragtag Daily Prompt is timid.

Argh, the formating is wrong. And WordPress has updated enough that I don’t know how to single space the parts I want single spaced! Feedback welcome!

Hmmm, used the poetry block as per Sgeoil — do I put it all in one block?

Wee timorous cowering beastie

No, not a mouse. But the lizards are timid too. They do not want to engage and they leave very quickly. These one is fairly large, a foot long, so she posed for a photograph. Let’s crop it.

The next one is going for camouflage and is really quite brilliant at it. I like the tiny blue dots.

I also catch sight of small things scurrying out of my path hiking. Also lizards, 3 or 4 cm long, and very fast.

Today I go back to the first clinic I worked at here. I am feeling mildly timid myself. Stage fright? I can’t sing a song that I know, because I don’t choose the patients. They show up.

I took these photographs on the Palisade loop trial, in July. The lizards like it.

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: timid.

I left out sleeket.
