Abstract

The first glow of sunriseGreets the sleepless internAnd melts over the faded brick archHalf-shadowed, which reminds:“For of the most high cometh healing.”The day builds up like a tidal waveTumbling down toward chaosTwelve patients to examineThree new presentationsTwo sets of roundsUnfinished notesFrazzled energy envelopsBrief conversationsPunctuated by shotgun pagesLike fireflies firing randomlyHypotension in the stepdownChest pain in room 258An arrest on floor nineCritical junctures for themAre casual encounters for him.But the bustle coalescesInto an easy rhythmAs he becomes a soulful machineHumbledBy illness and deathYet efficient --A round peg in a round holeThe hospital's panic transformsInto the doctor's electric humWhich still ripples through the airAs he walks home with hopeAnd worships the arcing moon.
