Day Surgery
Gowned, tagged, prepped,
Transmuted from person to
patient; a body to be overhauled.
About to be etherised upon a table
(I think of T.S. Eliot). In this
peculiar instance; my flesh and
being oddly distinct. I maintain
myself, write poetry in the ward,
hold dignity under this white
shroud. My body the domain
of professionals and procedures
until they return it to me again.
