Everything must go




The nurse in her pink blouse entered the room.

Picked up a checklist and dotted around the room
performing various tasks.

"ugh.."

"sir? are you alright?"

"ugh"

"what is it?"

she placed her soft pale palm
upon his forehead.

"what can I get for you?, what do you want?"

"everything"

her eyes widened, her mouth pursed.

silence befell the room.
