Waiting Room (Doctor's Surgery)

He's the only one 
seated and the
happiness in magazines
can stay closed

Toys, public announcements
the government and community
working for you
happiness in photographs

the doctors has a devoted garden
wooden furniture
and the wide romance
of regional stillness

He hears the other patient
say good bye...see you in
two weeks time
and like a swimmer

at a pool
He's up as if he were
on the blocks
in summer.
