~ a million giggles of gratitude

somewhat poetic prose; i write merely to exercise my right to write; the story of last night lol :p

monsieur scalpel,

shortly after i informed you

about my trip to the emergency ward

of a local hospital

for an anti-allergy shot

and i was bragging about how

i wasn't feeling drowsy,

i collapsed into a partial slumber

before falling into the paradise

of a deep sleep

so, the meds worked their magic

and save for the exhaustion-ache

which is the natural effect

of heavy medication

which bothered me for a few hours

i healed from a sudden

rather ferocious

and inexplicable allergy attack 

which arrived in my universe

while i was watching a mildly

scary horror movie

so i was fighting another battle as well

i was trying not to giggle

because i was amused by where

the horror movie took me

(if it did)

and then i was trying not to giggle 

while in the hospital

with thoughts of you swarming

my mind

just because this was my first trip

to a hospital after bumping into you

in may 2015

(which somehow seems like 

something that happened centuries

ago)

i thought you would suddenly pop out

of a corner

and yell at me for landing up in a hospital around midnight

before realizing that i was red with a strange rash

and it wasn't a result of me being rash

with you

or you being rash with me

and to my utter delight

i couldn't remember

at any point during last night

that the last time i spent so much time

in a hospital

was when my mother was battling cancer

and i was sobbing or on the verge of sobbing

she was with me

and she didn't seem perturbed either

we were very pleased

with the way a devoted doc

and nurses

were buzzing around us

to make sure we were okay

and we were thinking about you

and wondering if you were

attending to someone

in an emergency ward

in a hospital

just a few hours away

and helping someone feel better

so, thank you for being you

and helping me heal

from the fear of hospitals

i actually thought there was 

a new fragrance in the air

and i silently sent you 

a million giggles of gratitude

and a warm and friendly

no skin-contact hug

you're my favourite

human med

This is phenomenal. It played through my mind like a short film. You really did a great job with the layers of depth you have going on here. Looking at the different ways a person can heal or how being together can transcend physical boundaries are two things that clicked for me as well as others. The wordplay made it even more subtle. Fine work.
