Intern (for Matthew)

from Let the Sun Take the Blame by Blind Pelican

lyrics

Something dreamlike and lovely, how the IV’s hollow tip submerges so purposefully into the back of T’s right hand.

“Time was, I’d see a group of boys on the street, any boys, really, with their hands and their laughter, enjoying themselves real loud, claiming as theirs the whole sidewalk, and I’d look at them coming and wonder, Is this it? Is this the time?”

T smiles at the nurse, teeth white and straight.

“Never know, is it more foolish to be afraid or not be afraid?”

Or anyway, what teeth are left.

“Like, TV violence is still violence, you know? It being cliché don’t make it any less real.”

But the nurse is already gone, moved on, replaced by somebody else. The dreamish needle burnishing all edges:

“Never thought it’d ever actually be the time.”
