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

“Just in Case”
around the hospital bed
