Recent knee problems had me thinking about the last operation.

medial cartilage

first sedation

then the back of hand jab

backward counting

metal in the mouth

like sucking washers

or oysters with reisling

classical music as doctor &

anaesthetist

discuss a new bose sound system in the

white room

you wake elsewhere

armchaired with waiting cup of tea

wondering how they spent the two hours

you lost.
