Tired Nurse

board the bus
the sight of a nurse asleep

a tired nurse
is a sign
of resignation

The tired nurse is the overturned fire engine
along the narrow bend without foresight

this should be more than about
the aura of her uniform
all weariness betrays.

Tired Nurse is not a body
but a figure inscribed on the seat.
The thick inscription marks
the temporary collapse
of another anantomy of care
