Ode to Operating Room
Heart rate in the minor key
 brain-waves in the operating room
 doctor’s without faces
 no gloves
 burnt hands
 proceed to incision 
 skin peels like fresh lemons
 cold touch of scalpel to the skin
 transplant of the unethical 
 violations of Medicare
 fiscal infection
 keep the penicillin coming
 oxygen related hallucinations 
 surgical team all unconscious 
 submission to the hidden Rx
 get your coma in a pill
 heart beat at the minimum 
 revival using electrical chair
 Dr.’s orders 
 go ahead and swallow your heart
 death due to emergency room 
 close your eyes
 as the nurses stitch you up
