bright lights, uncomfortable chairs, name called, and stale air
check off lists, answered before, name signed, tally up the score
hours pass, patterned floors, name called, and close the door
breathe in, breathe out
make sure i, have a pulse
shove a swab, down my throat
take one more, vial of blood
write a script, pack up my shit
i’m still feeling sick
bright lights, uncomfortable chairs, name called, and stale air
a new room, looks like the past, a new test, can it be my last?
chronic illness, chronic disease
i hope this next pill, goes down easy
chronic illness, chronic disease
i hope this next pill, goes down easy
