Betadine & Alcohol Pads MAG
Is there anything
in this room
not made by man?
Linoleum, silicone, steel,
nitrile gloves and polymers,
biohazard disposal containers and
one marked
“For incineration only.”
Instruments for checking pulse,
measuring blood pressure,
examining ears and eyes and noses
tools of destruction,
eliminating viruses and infections and illnesses in record time.
Service dogs and face masks and gingerbread cookies in the lobby,
bad coffee and funny MAs and birth control prescriptions that give you anxiety –
What an atmosphere.
I’ve been here too long.
Where is the doctor?
Why are the walls that color?
The ceiling tiles weren’t cut correctly.
Everything about this space is almost perfect
and yet
so far from it.
How hard is it to cut a ceiling tile?
