(n6 - n10): a casualty sequence

sunday morning
the taxi to hospital
takes the scenic route

***

back with coffee
she's already gone
to x-ray

***

waiting again
i finish off
her luke-warm coffee

***

large adverts
for compensation lawers
on waiting-room wall

***

no bones broken
keep on taking the tablets
go home and rest
