Yes, you may enter.
This didn’t exist
Until you got here.
In that sense, it’s yours.
Nurses making rounds
In moonlit wings
Of a stucco matchstick
Building someone built
To generate wealth
Off recovery.
Everyone in here,
After visitors
Are done for the day,
Is already old,
Either customer
Or certified staff.
What else can you say,
Asks the moonlit nurse
Looming with plastic
Cup of pills in hand.
We waste so much stuff
In here. Everything
Is a single use
Serving. The patient
Nods in the silver
While considering
How that only means
Each dose vanishes
But deliveries
Pile forever.
