you trust them and they hardly know you
you trust them to cut your hair the way you like
but they only see you every two weeks
and then for only a moment or two.
you trust them to take your appendix out
but they weren't there when you fell off your bike
you trust them to know you completely
after only fifteen minutes or so
how easily we hand over our individuality
to strangers who claim to have special technology
we trust both doctors and barbers both
and have done so from our youth
