Code Blue
Code blue in the ICU
Chest compressions
Clear!
Yellow gowns
People crowded
At your departure bay.
Bed springs squeak
Chances bleak
At least you’ll look
Good in black.
No time to think
Just to react
Curtains closing
On your final act.
Natural progress of death
They told me
Organs failing
One after another.
Round two
Won’t be long now
Dangling from the line
Where fate and hope intertwine.
The family’s tears
Pent up for years
Comes rushing forth
The moment you flatlined.

Portable Chest X-Ray
Stand back three feet
To protect yourself
You don’t wanna meet
The force of this machine.
This sick dying man
He needs it badly
It’ll hurt you
But he needs it madly.
The power of the sun!
Making helpful little pictures
And it’ll take a ton
To cure this ailment.
