triage in apartment 3 G

she kept her doctors

busy.

first it was

her shoulder, then her knees,

then one

hip,

then her breasts

after
the facelift.

next came

the cataract surgery,

then

a disc in her neck.

an ankle

when she tripped

up the steps.

an arm was wrapped

in a cast

from falling

on the ice.

a wig

disguised her thinning

hair.

from what i heard,

the broken

heart came last.
