…
it’s ten a.m.
i’m going home
with music in my ears
survived a week in hospital
i’m holding back some tears
the nurses here were angels
the doctors were the bomb
the guy in radiology
reminded me of mom
…
now it’s twelve
now it’s twelve
and i’m still here
the ever-patient patient
they’re dealing with a problem
they’re dealing with a problem
with the patient who’s adjacent
…
i fell asleep
and now it’s two
how time flies in this vault
they still have not released me
and of course it’s no one’s fault
…
…
it’s 6:00
they brought more food
their effort to appease
but took away my pillow
and my blankets
so i freeze
…
and my blankets
so i freeze
…
they wheel-chaired me
at 8:00
and left me in the hall
but since i’m packed
and strapped in tight
i can’t do much at all
…
it’s ten p.m.
i’m going home
and it’s for real this time
too content to hold a grudge
the air out here’s divine
!!!
