I am underprepared.
As I stare at blank space on the waiting room walls,
An analogy for my mind,
An unfamilar quietness.

I expected to be dismissed immediately
And instead I wait here,
Feeling hours slide over my skin
Like stagnant water

Consultation,
Wait,
Ultrasound,
Wait,
Consultation,
Wait,
Biopsy.

I did not prepare for this eventuality.
I wish...
[unspoken]
Everyone else has someone to hold their hand as they wait,
A friend to talk to...
I wonder how many of us are about to recieve very bad news.

I watched on the ultrasound screen,
at a hateful aparition,
There is no pain,
After the sting of an anasthetic needle drives into my flesh,
And only at sharp report of a double gunshot,
And needles spear me and are removed,
Taking a part of me with them on exit.

And now, more waiting...

Well as long as you're waiting around I might as well start the surgery and remove the malignant mess you've grown into. I'm not a doctor but I've got nothing better to do than to cut and squeeze the goodness out of you. Toss your medicine away and take my brand of poison instead. It's full of madness, laughter and wicked good cheer that would make a waiting room seem like the place to be until sane people can figure out how to get rid of us. And remember I'll always guarantee to be the devil on your shoulder my friend whispering sweet sins and terrifying delights.
Waiting for the end of the world doesn't seem so grim when your friends show up to be with you and who also happen to be as crazy as you.

Just a few words of comfort in my own special way.
I'll always hold your hand, That's probably why you took out the restraining order.
