the nurse wants to help
you as she stares into her
lap top asking questions,
never once looking up
to see the hives on your
face, the bleeding from
your nose, the twitching
legs and arms. the doctor
will be in shortly she
says, keeping her distance.
the doctor arrives, staring
into his laptop, says open
wide, then sticks a padded
stick onto your tongue,
say ahhh, then
peeks into each ear,
your nose, shines a light
into your bloodshot eyes.
no worries, he says.
you have three options,
pills or surgery or wait
one day until you die,
exit to your left,
pay the nurse,
you'll be fine.
