Inpatient

Napping softly, sweat upon his brow

A pillow’s winkles impress his cheek.
 
Tuesday morning awakening to -
Breakfast in bed, sweet maple syrup.
 

His sunken eyes slowly un-lid

Only to find empty, white walls.
 

A cheerful good morning from the nurse’s lips:

Whose husband has a luxury car;

 

Whose children live in isolated bliss;

Who certainly has  an accomplished life.
 

Crazy one. Lying in bed. Traveling the mind.
