So I See

Hold on a minute, I thought.
Isn't she a Nephrologist?

I thought she asked me,
"Are your pupils dilated yet?"
but I couldn't be sure.

I was hoping she'd tell me
how long things would take
but it took her forever
just to list the roadblocks.

I almost fell asleep
waiting for her to finish.

Everything these days is
just another waiting room.

I'm not surprised anymore
at all the beautiful artwork.

Oils. Triptychs. Sedation.
