written in radiation oncology waiting room

"I will recognize you next time,"
the patient apologizing to the nurse



I start to count waiting room chairs,
lose interest

number of people: 2



taking a breath -
I've been holding it
listening to strangers' voices



They should have treadmills in waiting rooms.

I'd use the treadmill in a waiting room.

At least make 'em use it to power the TV, if there's gotta be a TV, which there shouldn't be, in my opinion.
