Short Scrubs Poems

Lone wolf in desert
Sand and scrubs are your close friends
Send out your sharp cry...

~ Clock punched, bloody scrubs,


  "Leave your work AT work", they say ...


  But I wear it home ~...

Caught in branches
Struggle but thorns dig in deeper
Wait for help

carefully folded
she scrubs floors with tattered rags ~
sandalwood smolders

slave to his passions ~ 
beneath her silken sari
burning hatred grows...

Hats off to heroes
Health care workers of the world
Heads bowed, we thank you
Who put yourselves in harm's way
Angels in scrubs, gloves, and masks...

Vacant bloodshot eyes
Stare at one spot on the wall
Feeding tubes and scrubs

I should let him die
Mercy killers dropped the ball
So I pull the plug...

white t-shirt hanging on the line
pair of work scrubs thrown in the laundry
two socks matched perfectly in the drawer
white tennis shoes by the door
white eye shadow placed upon white skin
grabbing my white purse
heading out to my white car
driving to work in between the white lines...

A persona, a Title
A uniform, an assumed frame of reference
and a certain state of mind.

I was surprised
As i hit the down button
on a sinking ship
And re-learned how to swim again.

I can do it
This is what i was made for
I know, i can do it
Even if you have gym socks
That are older than i am....

I know a woman who vacuums her driveway.
I have eight colors of paint on my hands and arms.
I know a woman whose porch is spotless.
An opossum and family of raccoons live on my front porch.
I know a woman who scrubs her kitchen floor daily.
I took a bath yesterday and I still have eight colors of paint on me....

daffodils spinning heads wind scents lovely smell
     roses bedded different accent emphasizes
tulips are so colorful and bright accentuate
     élites amongst the bushes and scrubs 
placed on the table in budvases to adorn
     treasures at this June garden party

Please
Don’t drink
The lymph
Anymore

Hospital wretch
Chubs in scrubs
Sorting sifting searching
Medical waste surprise

Biohazard beverage
White lumpy lymph
Don’tcha dare incinerate
My lymph

Want that lymph
Need that lymph
Find that lymph
Drink that lymph

Splotchgulp foam
Guzzle-muzzle glob
Smackety-spit dribble
Lymph-lymph-lymph...

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....

Cupid’s Winter sport
his spanking new quiver’s full 
his aim’s a bit low

Miss Mary’d be happy with dough
but shot by a bum with a bow.
She married a poor
man, scrubs his dirt floor,
because of one single arrow.

If Cupid puts his quiver away,
                              then who’s to blame for poor choices?

She watches as the familiar female face falls from his wallet
An infidelity exposed
The truth of betrayal unfolds

In fevered disbelief she sat motionless through the night
Slowly her eyes refocus... he still lay upon their bed

Grabbing the scrubs she'd just bought for work
She kisses his forehead, sets the broken, bloodied knife in the sink
And locks the door behind her


(Prompt: Split Wide Open)...

I know you’re tired and have done you’re part...... 
Now momma lay down, and ease your weary heart......
Scrubs are hung and shoes put away..... 
First time they’re still, in many a day.......
Now close your eyes and hear me say.....
I promise you mom, I’ll see you again some day.......
She is my mom and always a hero to me..... 
she is nurse and full of love...... 
She is YOUR angel sent from the good lord above........

Yuletide blackboard,
tally the good, dirty snow ugly and the bad
Chalk it up to life learning experience,
golden sleigh bell reward
Past mistake spots erased so mistletoe glad,
mend every sad, broken-hearted fence
Kicking clean fresh holiday scrubs — 
kiss the new year baby
with a merry, evergreen cheek rub
Go charity palm crazy ...
Do it alm right from the very start,
giving daily
those precious gifts from the heart...

CARDIFF

Cardiff: The battle of Cardiff
Two elephants meet 
In the spectacle of the cold night of Champions
The grass will suffer, stamped; 
Scrubs rooted out by studs and boats.
Two legends collide 
In show of slayer & saver.
A night of pride, 
Night of the Galacticos & The Old Lady,
Its the night of nights,
Night of the UEFA Champions League, 
The Battle of Cardiff: Cardiff 2017.

Uniform waves
On a blue LED screen
Rhythmic contraction fading
And we all know what that means

White jackets Rush
Scrubs flying down the hall
Looks of panic
Slowly, to the grave he crawls

Large piece of mine
Yet more of theirs
Sitting in silence
Small room of chairs

Clipboard in one
A pain in the other
Quiet approach
We stare at each other

There's no coming back
The day is now done
We miss you already
I need one more day. Just one.....

young nurse backed out of the transparent clinic door
she no longer wears scrubs but I wish she did
she has on flesh-colored leggings
I imagine she is bigger than I am, and I wear an eighteen
anyone over a six should not wear flesh-colored leggings
I make a note of this
oh, my, this was the nurse with the beautiful blonde hair
It is awful now, dyed in four colors
faded pink, bland purple, washed out green, gray yellow
Don’t women have mirrors anymore?...

Someone is wearing brown shoes.
Ones that look like
penny loafers, ones that look like 
blue shoes. Beige slacks and scrubs
lifted and carried them into new
shoes, and there are a million shoes
coming in and out
the revolving doors.

Conversation 
flickers and illuminates
into busy back-up binds
that throw up into
reality.

Plasters of plastic white-on-white 
skin. With small detailed letterings
of a label, a label, and
numbers... with a finger that
beckons you to,
"Follow Me."...
