ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER DR



the 
clinic 
has 
a
wall
of
clear orange glass
and
bricks
engraved
with
poppies
and
odes
to 
the war dead

i wait inside
on new blue plastic seats

read an ambitious local rag

that
claims

'reality show stars
are changing the stereotype
of Essex

EMPOWERING
like the Spice Girls'

a woman 
stumbles in
in stilettos
and
spray-on jeans
because
she just hit her head on her own car boot 
and
needs
it
checked
before
the school run

looks like the same old Essex to me

i wait

drink water from a plastic cup

read nothing

scrape
some
matter
from an ear lobe
with
an
untrimmed
nail

and 
when i see the drs
they are drs
in a drs room
and
they schedule
another appointment
with
another
dr
