in the reception room
at seven in the morning.
a group of restless people
try to look casual.
the matron in a stylish suit,
the fiftish woman with
a dragon tattoo climbing her arm,
the young man staring at his shoes.
all trying to look casual.
Into the prep area I go,
in a hospital white
and blue gown, on a gurney,
through the doors in to pre-op,
while making inane chatter,
trying to seem casual
Now in the operating room
nurses and technicians
doing what they should do.
off to numbing asleep I go
trying to be casual
