Clinic Waiting Room with French Impressionists
The ball-capped men, old men, sit motionless
Arms folded in existential disapproval
They read not, no, and neither do they toil1
Over boxes that light up and make noise
French impressionist lilies soften the walls
Echoing with educational racket
A cartoon shark counting the numbers off
To a child embalmed in a plastic box
While his mee-maw looks to eternity
Through a door that opens from the other side
1Saint Matthew 6:28-29
