Uncle History has always hung around hospitals…
Before they discovered ether
Patients screamed their lungs out
(From “patiens”
One who suffers
And the verb “patior”
Which means I am suffering)
He saw how non-transactional it was
Everyone suffered
Tuberculosis for the doctors
Women bleeding out
Asklepios with his snakes
No one emerged alive
Which was and is
The source of history
Uncle carries a stalk without blossoms
Inside his coat…
Planet of the Blind
