Waiting again
In a Doctor's office-
Same warm wood
To cozy up
The bland neutral
And strategically placed chairs.
Same polite
Smiling personnel
Like wait staff
At a restaurant,
"I'll be your server today
Please put on this gown."
Same false front
to hide the fear
And danger inherent
In a place
Of such impossible possibilities.
Same tightly held hope
That Gary passes his test.
