hospital coffee is an atrocity.
a shame really usually
in this strip mall death cult we call home the issue
is not
staying caffeinated the issue
is bodies
how they fail
are replaced
bodies we love bodies
we disdain bodies we
never knew but
insistent in their absence
in hospital I drink in contempt
I wait for a body loved not
yet surrendered
my mind wanders to the river
the turtles returning of late
who will be my substitution?
displaced to the city dirty
dues paid I am
in the replacement
stick to the diet sodas
swap some blood for formaldehyde
the difference between
bodies loved disdained
fades beneath the fluorescents
