Visiting a Friend in his Hospital
Room
For Tod
So
there you were with a tube in your arm
And a
crossword puzzle and pen in your hands
And a lovely
view of a sunlit roof
With
windblown debris whipping between the vents
An
assembly of physicians in conclave met
At the
foot of your bed to discuss your future
One of
them but a face on a telescreen -
One
thinks of The Head in That Hideous Strength
I
think of you comfortably back home tonight
An
ikon (and a brandy) on the table beside you
