The Door

What day is today?
And what are these pills?
The nurse with the plastic smile
Brings in a cup to fill
But I don’t understand it
What the hell am I doing here?
And she doesn’t say a word
When the door opens wide
Light floods in from the hall
And the three clean white coats
Stand witness to it all
What did he say?
Something to the nurse?
Slowly she nods her head
Her lips are pursed
But I can’t comprehend it
Who are these people standing here?
And I can’t discern a word
Then the door opens wide
Light floods in from the hall
And the three clean white coats
Stand witness to it all
I open my mouth to demand
What the hell am I doing here?
But nobody hears a word
When the door opens wide
Light floods in from the hall
And the three clean white coats
Stand witness to it all
And I can hardly stand it
When do I get to leave?
Nobody says a word
When the door opens wide
I move into hall
And the three clean white coats
Turn away from it all
