[ They Say It’s Best That We Stay Apart A Little Bit ]
[ But Do You Do Laps Around Your Living Room? ]
[ Stand, Lay Down Or Sit? ]
[ How Do You Keep Yourself Going? ]
[ When The Ideas Are Slowing? ]
[ How Are Things Going To Fit? ]
[ When You Feel That You Lost Your Wit? ]
[ & Your Good Sense ]
[ Has Lost Its Suspense ]
[ & Is Now Behind That Locked Fence ]
[ Can You Open That Lock ]
[ Before Your Watch ]
[ Says It’s 2 O’clock? ]
[ What Happens ]
[ Then? ]
[ When? ]
[ I Guess There’s Nothing ]
[ That Can Be Done ]
[ So That Makes Something ]
[ To Run From ]

(216)▪︎[ Nice Nurse Named Laurel … 3•15•2021 ]
[ Well, Here I Sit On Monday, March 15th, 2021 ]
[ I Was Excited For This Surgery ]
[ But Now I Am Really Glad That It Is Finally Done ]
[ Spending The Night Before My Anniversary Has
Never Been An Ultimate Dream Of Mine ]
[ But @ Least It Is Just One Day & Night ]
[ Instead Of Nine ]
[ This Is A Whole Lot Better Than My Eleven Days ]
[ Stay ]
[ Completely Different Circumstances Than The Time
Before ]
[ Back Then The Need For Care Was A Whole Lot More ]
[ One Thing Is Definitely The Same With All Of My Stays ]
[ & That Is The Appreciation I Have For The Salem Hospital’s
Nurse’s ]
[ Each & Every Day ]
[ This Time I Am On The 7th Floor ]
[ Five More ]
[ Than The Time Before ]
[ I Had Fantastic Nurses Then ]
[ & I Have Fantastic Nurses Now ]
[ So How Did I Ever Get So Lucky, Again? ]
[ My Nurse Right Now Is A Nice Woman Named Laurel ]
[ If The Head Of The Hospital Ever Asked Me If She Should Get A
Big Raise ]
[ I Would Not Quarrel ]
[ Nurse Laurel Is So Nice & Polite In Everything She Does ]
[ She Is Not Looking For Accolades ]
[ She Does It, Just Because ]
[ It Is Not In Her Job Description, It Is In Her ]
[ There Is No Hidden Agenda ]
[ Because Her Intentions Are Pure ]
[ I Am Sure There Must Be Days That Nurses Wished It Would Go
By Quicker ]
[ Those Must Be The Days When Each Patient Comes Feeling
Sicker ]
[ Sicker Than The One Prior ]
[ Or During The Period Of Times When We Had The Fires ]
[ Sometimes They Probably Go A Whole Day Without Someone
Saying ( THANK YOU ) ]
[ But That Is Not The Reason That They Do What They Do ]
[ It Is Sad To Think That The Doctor’s Get All Of The Glory While
The Nuses Do All The Work ]
[ & I Bet More Than 1 Out Of Every 5 Patients Can Be A Jerk ]
[ Then You Brought Up This Nice Nurse Named Matt To Replace
The I.V. ]
[ That Had Fallen Out Of Me ]
[ To Be A Great Nurse Like Laurel You Must Start ]
[ With A Nice Personality & A Big Heart ]
[ & Not Just Anyone Can Handle This Part ]

(490)▪︎[ I Am Just Hoping … 6•14•2021 ]
[ Why Did Things Have To Come To This? ]
[ In Life, This Was Not @ The Top Of My Wish List ]
[ We Were Rolling Along So Well ]
[ But Now Our Relationship Is Now Just A Shell ]
[ Of What It Used To Be ]
[ Am I The Only One Who Can See ]
[ How Things Have Now Become? ]
[ Feeling So Numb ]
[ Because We Keep Arguing About Things That Are So Dumb ]
[ No, I Am Not Calling You That ]
[ See That Is What I Mean ]
[ I Am Just Stating A Fact ]
[ & Then I Am Seen ]
[ As Coming @ You With A Baseball Bat ]
[ Ready To Take A Swing ]
[ This Is Not What I Bring ]
[ To The Table ]
[ This Is Like Trying To Compare Dish To Cable ]
[ Both Have Their Good Points ]
[ & Both Cost Alot Of Coins ]
[ I Am Not Making A Demand ]
[ But We Need To Get Back To The Issues @ Hand ]
[ It Has Become Crystal Clear ]
[ That We Need To Figure Out Where We Are Going To Go
From Here ]
[ Do We Go Forward, Or Stay Put ]
[ Do We Open Mouth & Then Insert Foot? ]
[ Putting A Foot In The Mouth Kind Of Shuts Everything
Down ]
[ Look Around ]
[ Who Looks Like The Clown? ]
[ Believe Me, It Is Not Any Fun ]
[ To Look Like One ]
[ Where Do We Go From Here Was The Question Raised ]
[ Will The Answer Make Me Feel Afraid? ]
[ Or Praised? ]
[ I Am Not Trying To Be A Dick ]
[ But Sometime In The Next Few Days ]
[ We Need To Pick ]
[ Go Forward Or Throw In The Towel ]
[ Will The Word Have Three Letters? ]
[ Or Will It Be Two Letters Ending With A Vowel? ]
[ I Hope … I Hope … The Answer Won’t Be No! ]

(465)▪︎[ Should Have Just Stayed Home … 5•9•2020 ]
[ What To Do, What To Do, When I’m Bored? ]
[ Maybe I’ll Find Something That Has Been Ignored ]
[ What Will I Do Once This Has Been Found? ]
[ Maybe I Grab It ]
[ & Roll Around ]
[ On The Ground ]
[ [ Does This Make Me Feel Happy? ]
[ Or Grumpy ]
[ & Snappy? ]
[ Will I Succumb ]
[ To Boredom? ]
[ Why? ]
[ How Come? ]
[ So Then I Throw That Into The Garbage ]
[ & Try Again ]
[ By Going To The Garage ]
[ Is It Here, Or Over There? ]
[ Then I Find It Where? ]
[ Well, Now I Don’t Care ]
[ How Do I Get Myself To Care More? ]
[ Do I Let It Fall To The Floor? ]
[ Maybe I’ll Throw It Away When I Walk Out The Door ]
[ On My Way To The Store ]
[ Once I Get There, What Do I Buy? ]
[ Oh My, My, My ]
[ What Do My Eyes Spy? ]
[ Right There In The Freezer ]
[ Is An Eskimo Pie ]
[ Or Maybe I Traveled This Far ]
[ For An Ice Cream Bar ]
[ It Is Driving Me Up The Wall ]
[ Because I Really Don’t Want ]
[ Any Ice Cream @ All ]
[ Did I Come Here ]
[ For An Ice Cold ]
[ Imported Beer? ]
[ Naw, Let’s Just Go Home ]

(1155)▪︎[ Slowly … 12•30•2020 ]
[ Breathe, Breathe Slowly, Breathe ]
[ Get Up The Courage To Believe ]
[ In The Dr.’s ]
[ So You Won’t Have The Urge To Get Up &
Leave ]
[ Find Strength & Bend @ The Hips ]
[ As You Keep, A Stiff Upper Lip ]
[ Don’t Shed A Tear ]
[ In Fear ]
[ Just Know That You Are In Good Space ]
[ While You Are Here ]
[ Have The Confidence ]
[ To Figure Out The Diffrrence ]
[ Between The Reasons To Stay ]
[ & The Reasons To Get Up & Walk Away ]
[ What Are The Reasons That Sound Any Good? ]
[ What Are The Ways ]
[ That Could Be Misunderstood? ]
[ Can Those Reasons Be Found In A Reasonable Time? ]
[ Will They Be As Obvious ]
[ As The Difference Between A Lemon & A Lime ]
