Columbia Memorial Health Care

.

Flooded

A-fib grabs me by the chest

IV’s flooded in;

ER noises clang and pulse

Squealing through my head!

.

IV’s flooded in;

Monitors and EKG’s

Oxygen for me.

.

ER noises clang and pulse

Graph my wheezing breath

Isn’t flu, but asthma too!

.

Squealing through my head

X-rays blink; nurses link

me to an overnight!

.

FANTASMAGIC CARE !

    Don is the one who had A-fib and asthma. I made it present tense and first person to engage the audience. We are recovering.
