Hi, 71 degrees. The title is rather sad no matter how it is read, but sets the stage.
I wonder why mother is like a fallen snow angel. Is it fallen snow or fallen angel?
A doctor AND A nurse starts the poem out with a joke-like cadence, or resembling
the beginning of a joke.
A far door swings open and a doctor
and a nurse waltz in like synced-dancers.
No words, one in a white coat, the other
in a V-neck solid blue top. Adorned
with silver watches, matching black
stethoscopes
each carries a platinum chart. - didn't think of anything but how the chart is valuable or symbolizes wealth.
In Room 627, all but one line has been taken
out, bluish-morphine is every hour
on the hour. Plastic pens click, a head sinks -clicking pens is good metaphor
into a white pillow like a fallen snow angel
the two of them
two-step quickly down
the polished linoleum floor, past all
closed doors—
proud and confident, young - proud and confident of what? a cure I hope, not the wealth of a platinum chart...
and living among the dead.
though I am not sure how the chart business goes in hospitals or hospice nowadays,
I am glad to read there are physical hard copy charts and folks aren't relying on just
computerized junk.
all the best to you
