Hospital
antiseptic and bland food
enough to make you come unglued
wrinkled arms and toothless grins
people repenting for their sins
a crackling pillow and sandpaper sheet
the doctor says to take a seat
home magazines from last year
how long have I been sitting here?
numbers glowing in the dark
On the wall a stock photo of a park
families whisper in the hall
sniffling in a bathroom stall
to the cafeteria for a drink
Gives you lots of time to think
modified flowers and teddy bears
watering eyes and sunken stares
rate your pain from one to ten
maybe we can help you then
