Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

Observing Todays Nurses

A nurse saunters by 
wearing all black
even black nursing shoes
I never saw that before

The ones with super hero scrubs work with children.
But which patients does she work with?
Do they think of her as a real nurse not wearing white?

Questions to ponder as I see masked bandits
enter in and out of doctor’s offices, sharing this germy common room.

L Milton Hankins January 23, 2022 at 1:39 PM It is fascinating. I believe the doctor's reception room is one of the most dangerous places one can go. I try to arrive right on time, and I am upset if my appointment time passes without being seen. I ask for the first appointment after lunch or the last one of the day so I don't have to deal with waiting in a bacteria-infested room.
