Forgot How Much I Loved Scrubs

FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVED SCRUBS tears roll in big drops, as the credits roll. dressed up in tailored suits, friends comfort a doctor dealing with death. ~ first act, he insults, doesn’t care, drops sarcasm like a sarcophagus. stabs interns with his relentless words. but they wear their comradery-uniform, bordering him left to right and behind. one hand on each shoulder. and he lets them take care of him, allows his sarcasm a reprieve, wholly-enveloped in tears for his sidekick-brother, a chapter forever closed in a flowering coffin - an uncle his child would never meet. ~ tears roll in big drops, as the credits roll. dressed up in tailored suits, friends comfort a doctor dealing with death. 10/21/2017

Your title carries a strong message for this emotionally moving poem, Kim. Very heartfelt poetry. There, however, is joy in the sadness of the words ... the loving memories can be retold to others who knew not the beloved. That is a willing labor of love in which the living should always be apt to pursue. Thought provoking poem w/such emotional nuances. Love and peace always.
