Patients Ticking Life-

Like death toll the ticking of the clock Second-hand tocs To the silence riffs In a physicians examination room The switching the wall calls down Electric flow ticking away patients Tic tic tic seconds waiting breathe If one is afraid to wait until death

Those waits when seeing a doctor or other medical tests and if it is the other person getting a procedure or surgery the minutes seem to drag on. We do wonder if death will call when we go through all of that. Sara
