Patients and Patience

Freeverse

They take that patient on that trolley. Echoes bounce from that corridor, from talk, from footsteps, from that wall - and from that misery. That misery is a mystery for the guy on that trolley. He hears that chat, those echoes from those walls, those footsteps. He also knows what happened back at home, with that partner, that fight, that punch, that grief. That welcome trolley carries him, so smoothly. (8 December 2023)

A hard hitting write! That fight, that punch, that grief. That welcome trolley. I am thinking what Jacob is thinking. Patience is mostly a positive attribute. Here, it might not be.

sometimes we are too patient when abused...
and one day that trolley might just carry us to the morgue.
