Long day at the ER waiting for care
For my love; it wasn’t our first time there.
She finally got a bed, hadn’t eaten.
Everything closed except middle eastern
& all they had left was some baklava,
5 bucks, I bought it to bring back to her.
Pull into the lot, a stooped old lady
Knocked on my window, said she was hungry.
I gave her my pack of smokes & some cash,
But she looked thru my window for a stash
Of some victuals or something for her thirst.
I said sorry, gotta put my wife first.
Buzzed in with my paper bag to the back,
She tasted it & threw it in the trash.
