New Poem: HOSPITAL SLEEP

 

The right arm is tightly connected to medication line

No side sleeping for obvious reasons

Time to relearn lying on one’s back

For just an hour or two at a time

Before disruption so nurses can check vital signs

Plus how much urine is inside plastic container

Try to close eyes again 

As a loud flush emerges from bathroom

Be aware of  early wake-up time

> 

Repeat the above for 7 to 10 nights
