HOSPITAL COLOURS FROM A WINDOW



suneye shines on yellowline hospital hatchbacks
turns their blue bonnets silver
everything
is
dialled
down
to a quiet insect hum

washed out colours struggle thru a haze of beige

nurse pulls a blonde ponytail tighter and tugs down a dark dress
walking fast and late in black flat shoes
past
grey/white panel walls no shadow on their flat mute glare
hiding patients 
on 
tired green sheets
in 
dull orange jammies

van drivers coast in dirt painted vans
their slamdoors muted in heat
and
shift matte brown cartons to cool white inside
without
the
normal 
swears
