isolation

when they are special

we wear gloves and

blue gowns

sometimes masks

we watch for signs

telling us to

do these things

sometimes the heat of

our bodies gets caught in the gowns and

sweat rolls down from our brow

down to the narrow of our chests

i can remember an afraid intern

who did his visit by telephone

i thought he was gutless

and i still do

that guy

always had a feeling that

he was superior over me

guess again

Alexander Graham Bell

guess again

You pen your emotions well. Very nice.

This one is interesting, endearing, whimsical with a touch of humor. Loved it.
