ten poems

poetry on a soft-soap bottle in an American emergency room i found the face of Dr. House: Hugh Laurie along with a witty phrase i can’t possibly recall

we don’t look at each other

a shackled prisoner in orange scrubs a woman in a wheelchair – a man tells her: I have to go, so call an Uber she cries, but i can’t move, you understand, i can’t a vomiting child with parents stuffing vomit-stained clothes into a big violet bag a rotund, red-faced biker, a trembling geezer wrapped in white quilt

we don’t look at each other we watch the aquarium fish
