The Sequence of Hospital Waiting Rooms.
May 13, 2013
i.
they put a plastic bracelet
around your wrist- it is always
either too tight or too loose
ii.
abstract paintings on the wall
will never make any sense-
blotches of color will not change how
nauseous, depressed, or dead i feel
iii.
trying to focus on the book i bring
is impossible- those left waiting
in the waiting room, those healthy ones
will always stare, always notice
the signs marking me as other
iv.
tears are a sign of acceptance
a sign of weakness
no one cries here
v.
the walk of shame
when they call your name
