At The Hospital

An old man, senior-shuffling,
Goes to the counter
Not without pride,
And anxiety,
Though he tries to keep it inside.

His health is shot,
And there's clouds in his brain,
He explains to the nurse
But it's clearly a strain
To say what he thinks, or hear her refrain...
He's trapped in a curse
We all will someday share
In other hospitals elsewhere.
