The Angel<br />
He wears all white,<br />
white sweats, white t-shirt<br />
white hat<br />
white hoodie<br />
white shoes<br />
and even white fucking socks<br />
every day.<br />
He sits down in the waiting room,<br />
looks around.<br />
It is just me and the seniors again.<br />
Some are quiet<br />
and don’t mind when I ask if we can turn off the TV<br />
which is incredibly loud and only<br />
set to talk shows,<br />
those women don’t bother me.<br />
The Angel starts in, every day<br />
with the same thing.
