Just In Case – v2

so much of that space,

the sterile hospital room

things in place, just in case,

 something immediate

should happen

tube for oxygen

the IV at the ready

tissues just in case

a sneeze comes over us

a phone in case it rings

bringing us close to another

a bell to push

to bring assistance running

a basin for the oops. . .

and a receptacle for the other
