Hospital Poem

People in the hospital are asking me to leave.

I have overshot my period of complimentary leniency.

The free meals have ceased.

My wheelchair has been confiscated.


They want me out - essentially - and I won’t go.

Soon, the 2024 All Saints Hospital photograph will be taken.

They’ll ferry us out in wheelchairs and gurneys.

They’ll compose the comatose

And arrange the amputees.

The picture will hang

in photo frames and calendars

across this wide and pleasant land.


I missed 2021’s photo by a week

And couldn’t get ill enough in 2023.


I won’t be able to look at my wife if I miss this one,

So I am holding out

Against everybody’s better judgement,

Against everybody’s best wishes,

And elongating my condition,

Throwing myself down stairs

Slamming my fingers in doors

Threatening to pull out all my teeth.


Too much of my life has fallen out the bottom.

If I clamp down, I reason,

Then everything should be mine once more

And the light shall flow over me like gold.

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
