Poetic Thoughts
Mark Rosoff is a poet and he knows it.
Writing poems is his avocation in life. Here are some of his poems with a
medical theme to them. I hope you enjoy them.
It is a call no one wants
3am
Pulled from sleep
Startled
Are you the parents of
Are you the spouse of
Are you a friend of
Are you available
Can you come here
Can you come here as soon as possible
Can you come here immediately
Can you come here
We will meet you in the lobby
We are so sorry
We did everything we could
We need your signature
On this form
On this date
On this incident
On this we need you
No more than an ink line
No more than a side smile laced with tears
No more thanks for your effort
No more of anything that matters
Just give me a chance to catch my breath
Just allow me a few more minutes
Just leave me alone for awhile
Just give me a chance to redo everything
Were there any last questions
Were there any last words
Were there any others to be called
Were there any arrangements to make
What can I do for you
What do you need
What should I say
What is the procedure
To stop all the fun around
To put a finale to this
To move on, it doesn't seem possible
To move
Are you moving
Can you move
We will move
On the move
No more move
Just move
Were there moves
What move
To move
