Cardiac Clinic Consulting Room

 

One’s bubble goes off-bubble a few degrees

For now there is nothing to do but sit and wait

No longer in control of anything

“Is there in your family any history of…?”

 

Pleasant young people in scrubs come and go

With papers and charts and machines that buzz

And in between the book is open but unread

While silent morning light louvres across the walls

 

The doctor enters with paperwork and optimism:

There are still possibilities in life
