AT THE HOSPITAL II
(spent a day at a hospital in ’13.)
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
-Do you know where you are?
-Who’s the president
of the United States?
-What day is today?
Does your chest hurt?
Are you diabetic?
I need to draw some blood…
-How old are you?
Do you live by yourself?
Will you be doing
pee pee or poo poo?
-From a nearby room,
a scream… a very loud,
piercing, anguished scream,
that only a mother could make.
-Death… at it again.
