The Chronicle of a Shift
The call lights.
The phone calls.
No time for lunch.
The screams –
The insults –
Overpower:
The sweet moments,
The kind words,
The final goodbyes.
No time for tears.
Open bed.
Transfer now.
No time for a break.
Discharge.
Admission.
No time to sit.
No time to talk.
No time to chart.
No time to breathe.
