Unwanted visits 
long wait in filled waiting room 
five minutes in room

Unfortunate Appointments At Imperfectly Perfect Times

water flowing
i move not
unfortunate that i will have to leave quickly
i think about all that are no longer here
the water's sound eases my mind like it knows
i move not
unfortunate that life and time waits for nobody's nothin'
i think about being late
i think about not showing up
i think about those ugly ole ramifications
water flowing
humbled, i move

Appointments

When we were young we’d go for weeks
And nary a doctor we’d see.
But now that our senior years have arrived
Seems that hardly a moment is free.

Appointments accumulate day after day -
It’s hard to keep them all straight.
The dates and the times all mix in my head –
Is tomorrow my eyes or my weight?

My calendar says

Appointments

Reminders we are not finite
Lest we should forget
Time tends to stop and hover
Undetectable
In a slow motion whirl
Caught in an endless loop
Like a 45 record that skips
It’s a typical phenomena
In all hospital waiting rooms
A soupy silence so very palpable
Contemplating the meaning of life
And what is left of it
Prisoner caught in a time warp
While life goes on

Cancel All My Appointments

CANCEL ALL MY APPOINTMENTS!!!

CALL WORK

TELL THEM I JUST FEEL TOO GOOD

TO WASTE IT ON THEM

WAKE THE KIDS

WE’RE GOING OUT FOR BREAKFAST

CALL THE SCHOOL

TELL THEM DAD JUST DECLARED

A “MENTAL HEALTH DAY”

GET DRESSED

WE’RE GONNA GO PLAY

NO BACKPACKS

NO BRIEF CASES

NO TOOL BELTS

JUST US……

AND A DAY

APPROPRIATED

FOR THE MAKING

OF MEMORIES

To Forget Appointments

To Forget Appointments

Even if in a beautiful car or riding a bike
To forget appointments would you like
I had left reminder on the vestibule
And now they will have to re-schedule.

We really never know quite for sure
How much a dentist does have to endure
While a patient passes their time away
Down South where you do it everyday.

The Appointments

Oh doctor my wife won’t you see
I think she is cheating on me
Said doctor to fuss
Of course I’ll discuss
She’ll be with me just after three
