HOSPITAL MORNING



the cleaner bitches loudly 
says her team cant start 
someone is in a load of trouble tomorrow 
just wait till i get my hands on him 
where are the hell did he put those keys 
ignoring her phone ringing 
barges out for a fag 
saying can't be doing with this

men in green from the council 
cut the tree up 
fell on the emergency generator five days ago 
got the other willow to deal with 
leaning at a dangerous angle over the gas store

by the mental health block 
decontamination trailer rumbles 
men in all in one white suits 
mill about with fire crews 
while blue lights flash

ambulance driver gets red faced 
tells a lorry driver not to park here 
its a blue light entrance only 
lorry driver mumbles 
ignores him 
kicking parcels round his van swearing

surgeon roars rath 
cos the stylets are too short 
why aren't there any of the longer stylets 
he cant work like this 
the woman at fault is now flying to majorca 
everyone is walking on egg shells

tv news crew quizzes chief exec 
failing trust and preventable deaths 
shes saying she cant speak for before her time 
lots of changes have been made 
shes proud of how everyone has all pulled together

the hub declares we are on red alert

i
put
the kettle on
and
browse ebay 
chewing gum
