Do You Know Me

Its an antiseptic room filled with white linoleum 
stranger still, the small cot that cradles her 
is being transported , she is not at  home;
"Lie still" the voices say, but her mind races  
D
O
W
N
                   HILL , 
Where am I ?    She whimpers. 

A tall burly man walks in the musky scent of forestry,   
he invades her tongue with sweets then asks, "do you know who I am?" 
A splash of recognition takes over, "I think,... I do? "  
Without regard to her glass smack the sun returns indiscriminately 
and lands, on their playing field.

Very interesting, Pixie, but I wish I knew who the man with that "forest scent" was. Guess this is a brain teaser. Best wishes in the contest, dear. Hugs, Carolyn
