NURSES


the prettiest nurses
are the busiest ones
work
their way
up
the sick ladder - away from the front line
climb up
some young Dr.s snug Farah legs

not the teenage
chatty
cash & club hungry/still training
long shifts wash over them
in moans

not the fish wives
in blue dress ruts/attitude in their
wide pores
bounce from
ward to ward

not the motherly
eager to smile
living
on the front line
with monumental
tolerance

- all the put upon salt of an old earth
