elevator moments
she said "smile! somebody smile for God's sake!"
and they wheeled her out of the elevator, this crunched beleaguered haggard woman on a bed of wheels who looked at us like we were freaks carrying our 16 ounce styrofoam cups of Nescafe
and he looks at me with his curly ruffled hair
and i look at him with my arrested smile, waiting..
'you know it's bad when patients are telling us to smile.."
and we laugh and we laugh and we laugh, and i don't know who he is and he has no clue, not one clue who i am
what the hell, we'll probably meet in the elevator again.
