I don't doubt your intelligence
I didn't question your advanced degree
You asked me why I wouldn't do it
I tried to explain; you said 'don't argue'
You made a decision without
Asking me how I felt
Hard steel tubes and anesthesia
Frighten your average lay person
You don't know about open debate
Discussion or respect for others
It never occurred to you to suggest another way
God forbid you would comfort or explain
You're not used to someone talking to you
As if you were human
