medical nightmares
I'm tactfully placing
these white and yellow
wildflower spirals
in the centerfold
of my chipping vintage
Grey's anatomy hardcover
right by the pages
with pen and ink sketches
of Machiavelli's skull
by the illustrations
of honest bones
humored through discipline
and utmost diligence
to please the residents
at the grand round wards
encroaching on my room
with cold lavender hues
I'll put a metal canister
from old gurney steel atop
pressing all the captured moisture out
and get the rich flowers flat
so I can feel like I'm doing something
with the fruits of hard cased seeds
unfurling and expanding
when lost alone
in the halls
of medical nightmares
