florence nightingale

i've always
been partial to nurses.
they seem
so kind and attentive.
the white hats
the white dress and shoes.
the bedside
manner
as they smile and hold
up a needle,
pulling up your gown
to jab you.
something angelic
about a nurse.
at least the ones in
the old movies,
in the old days 
when there were
real hospitals,
not clinics at the mall
with drive-throughs.
