Thread : Life

written by Poet : Twin Ringer


 

tell me brother

where did my day go

living on-call is a two day proposition

check that

it's a three day proposition

going in

your mind begins to wander

will it be a death

maybe a trauma

what will you catch

that will knock you

on your ass

don't show anything

out of place

"this is the hospital"

the home of quiet couture

Ralph Lauren visited the other day

those ties have got to go

and we're issuing new scrubs

you pay for them

out of payroll

out of pocket

the bureaucracy of blood and beauty

maybe it makes too much sense to

worry less about the patients

and more about appearance

it seems to be

when you're trying to stitch someone up

the last thing you worry about is

your threads
