let's get out of here

no one likes
the white sheets,
the sterile
walls and floors
the fluorescent
lights
on glimmering
scalpels
and
doctor's tools
behind
closed doors.
no one likes to see
the wet
tip
of a needle held
high
in the air, or hear the drone
of the MRI
or the x-ray machines whir. 
no wants to smell
the alcohol on cotton
swabs,
dabbing
at your arm.
hurry up, pay the man,
and let's get out
of here.
