but then everything was crazy down in ICU
the orderlies were running back and forth with food
and they snapped at me
Jessica snapped at me
but I know the Lord tells us we should turn the other cheek
and Lord knows that Jess has had an awful week
so I dropped two crates and turned around to leave
when at last the elevator came there was someone inside
when at last the elevator came there was a doctor inside
he didn't say hello
even when I said, "hi"
he tapped the wall
he closed his eyes
when we came down to the first floor
he let out a massive sigh
like he couldn't breathe from the same air as I did
as he whistled down the hall
I tried to love them all.
