HOSPITAL BLUES

HOSPITAL BLUES

Outside the Hospital: sitting down waiting smoking a cigarette in a designated smoking area along with coffee i heard some depressing stories a person with a bad liver someone waiting for a kidney a car crash‌ people with sad shrunken faces speaking in half Cajun and half English i didn't really want to be there just needed to bring my friend to the ER

I went back inside: waiting sat down watched the news confusion lack of concentration very sensitive towards other eyes i quickly looked in my pocket for some Xanax ...DAMN !!! ‌NOTHING

Outside Again: some one yelled "Man I hate hospitals!!! the noise. the depression" Fear and Loathing in this Hospital

Back inside: a man was complaining to the nurses loudly pronouncing "Man my fingers hurt" 4 times he was in real pain now that I think of it

Going outside: i saw the man was African American with dreadlocks and coveralls on he was Drunk and his alcohol breath was frosting up in the winter he bummed two cigarettes and drank some coffee we talked a little bit about the accident we talked a little bit about Hospital Blues
