Thursday

appointment


I didn't realise it would be too bright for you my dear,

I had suspected, that I was addicted to the light
To the wide white window frames
and the tall white walls
but the ultra white light bothered you
and made you feel quite sick.
Letting you in for the first time
soon turned ill -
there in my bright white surgery lab
was a clinical spirit not ready to be murky
well not here, not in these clean waters

and yet
the ambiguity of our tidy white faces
led somewhere, somehow
a weed to grow
or to sprout out immediately,
but die ever so instantly afterwards

and then there were the white beans boiling
and you said you wouldn't eat my shit

and then there were your other appointments pending
and you said, you wouldn't step outside with me
until I washed my face

and so, up in my house clothes
and made myself up
to leave by your side...

...............................................................................................................


you come in this way? (do you, do you dear?)
But isn't this an entrance for the servants?
