Medical

I am in that basement ward,
the disused one,
the one they park you in
on the way to the morgue.

The usual clutter of broken wheelchairs,
torn screens,
long defunct electrical equipment.

I sense that this is where you are left
until they figure out what to do with you.

In the morning I go to work.

I want to be somewhere else,
when they come to get me.
