I 

. 

                Ambulatory care: 

                The locus  

. 

Of mild discomfort  

And torturous cancer treatments; 

. 

It that weighs the balance between 

Chemotherapy  

And unutterably invasive scopic-procedures 

That seek to explore the sensitive inner-corners 

Of those parts of us 

That never were intended 

To ever see the light of day. 

. 

People always arrive with a smile 

But leave 

With their knees held  

A little more tightly together 

And a fresh, indecent modesty   

Gracing the blurred corners, misting 

About the faded edges of their eyes.  

.

II 

. 

It is where uncomfortable people 

Are placed in pre-scheduled appointments,  

Calendared, 

To be made more uncomfortable 

By maintaining a proximity  

With those who have discomforts 

That clearly surpass theirs.
