There is...

...madness in the air.
For a brief moment,
a waltzing scent of hospital spotlessness,
tinges the visitors with despair.

Waiting is for those who care,
Tubular insertions, jugular manipulations
and many other actions that trigger tremors under the skin,
cease to, in a day or so, to dig in.

There is something totalitarian about
hospitals and doctors that care,
one bars one's entrance to the underworld
although one might have in pocket the fare
