Hospital room

Persona comes to mind

Don’t ask why


Rails of the bed

Hard rails

Cold metal


Body in the bed

Body beyond the cold hard metal rails of the bed

Barely breathing


Television in the room

Know it

Can’t see it


Hard cut to face

Body in the bed’s face

[scary]


Blue skin

Face like hands are kneading

Invisible, angry hands


Someone comes in

Doctor, nurse, guard?

Holds cup to [scary] blue face


Blue face drinks from big straw in cup

Eyes on television

I’m here too


Doctornurseguard with tray

Puts tray on blue lap

(I assume it’s all blue)


Food on tray

All the food

I’m gunna hurl


All the food

Mashed together

A big [scary] blue child


Chocolate sauce on top

Leafy greens poking through

Vanilla ice cream mashed potatoes


Blue face laps it up

Hasn’t eaten in weeks

Slops, slurps, why does he look scared


I can’t move

Blue face is glued to the tube

Only consumption


Fuck

Ah fuck

I’m here too
