Magic orange button

This is no waiting room
this is waiting on the ward
this is the hospital bed
this is the walking wounded
this is hospital food
and a week of post-op antibiotics
this is the gown that never closes
this is the intravenous drip
that drips drops into the veins
this is that magic orange button
for the need to pee in a plastic bottle
or replenish the drugs when they wear off.
