i'd sleep on the white tile lobby floor
and pace until the time to visit starts. 
the bright lights are on but i'm away... 
how nervous a voice sounds on the phone. 
you agree when you check in at the desk . 
permission and [bad word] in every move. 
i'd be beside you when they're done 
but i'll have to wait until i can call. 
the blood kept you home while i was gone. 
they left you a note when you woke up 
"don't be alarmed by wooden splints." 
there won't be a need for you to call. 
excuses for careless doctor errors. 
acceptance by all past patients have 
allowed for a cold disclaiming note. 
the warning is there, no need to call.
