Real Hospital
you do not have the right to be angry
no not at all
thats not ok
just not ok with me
dog love!
I shout
with a bittenhand
what train departs that time again!?
I love you is not a station in the past
where I return you easily
to the biting dog that is waiting for me
or the leftover veggies from that
staple sandwhich
The kind nurses say each color on the wire
go to the same color in the little box
this box is attached to my heart
it ties me to bed
each wire has a square and a not so square
"easy to pull out" I cry
now I can escape to potty
the machine makes noises and other brighter colors
yes and your finger makes 9 more beeps
I am free, almost
and feel as smart as a doctor or a nurse
putting them back together
by myself again
it squeezes my arm tight with pride
Drawing a trusty drill into
What is my hand doing?
as I pound into the mene
holding the ingredients to
the staple sandwhich I cannot have
