Hospital Sleeping

Hospitalized. Like a caged animal I hear the nurses laughing again What is so dagnabbed funny at 2:18 in the morning? Diabolical laughter echoes through the hallway. Slapping its body into my room loudly and proudly A nurse will be in here to take vitals in a minute. I cannot believe they have to wake me up for this. Hello. Let’s take our blood pressure. Hi! Let’s go to the potty. My name is Lola. I will be your night nurse. Who the bellsl cares? I sit and fume But no one comes. Maybe I have had my quota of being bothered today? I fall into a tiny sleep. 2:22 the clock says. Some idiot wakes me up at 2:35. Hi! My name is Dotty. You can say that again.
