Eyes projecting fear and anxiety
self diagnosis infects those in turn
once over the yellow line, triage, assessed
a stream of new customers
anguished, reaching out for pain relief
blurred blue, bar coded hems
normal attire denoting authority
folds of turquoise privacy swish
ushered to a random tone chorus
Intimate information shared
questions draw no answers
detail overload, scarce conclusions
verbal short hand, translatable to specialists
loud nurses to the patient hush
test upon test
helpless relatives, situational aliens
random, fragmented chatter
dribble and trivia, useless beyond the day
Waiting, like for a bus, remained faithful
A verdict - life sentence or release on bail.
