Reality Will See You Now - poem

 

Lawrence Hall

Dispatches for the Colonial Office

 

                                            Reality Will See You Now

 

I am a student of medical waiting rooms

The same Motel 6 paintings and decor

Receptionists giggling behind rippled glass

About weekends and boyfriends and inadequate husbands

 

Patients waiting as patiently as Russians

Tattoos and ball-caps lined up in plastic-chairs

Clutching bills and lab reports in nervous hands

Or greasy, year-old copies of Reader’s Digest

 

Or bending over their MePhones in a servile bow -

“Mr. Hall? The doctor will see you now…”
