Positionality
A bald woman in a face mask
Being wheeled through the hospital corridor
The doctor thinks metastasis, final stage
A nurse tries to protect and cover
Her exposure
A stranger buying get-well cards
Sees the irony in this healing place.
A bald woman in a face mask
Passes the hospital gift shop
In a wheelchair that her granddaughter
Is strongly pushing:
Neither of them is thinking
Of Death today.
