No, it is as it seems,
Transcribing the bourgeois on proletariat wings
for rehab from southern living and good housekeeping.
Little improvements on paper pillows
address changes
history updates
checked urine
reported conditions
stacked on Medicaid numbers
do you have frequent headaches
dental implants
major disease
allergies
surgery?
Cornered by the stethoscope
forever joined to the vinyl-covered chair,
next to the lonely computer
bolted above the moulding.
Passing the time touching nothing
awaiting upturns.
