JUST IN TIME 1971A Poem by Terry Collett A GIRL ATTEMPTS SUICIDE BY HANGING IN 1917  They find her (the nurses) just in time a thin cord (from some guys pyjamas) round her neck attempting suicide by hanging in the bogs (the toilets) naked feet just about to leap off the bog seat never seen the nurses panic so but this time I saw them panicking like chickens when a fox is near by poor Yiska carried down the corridor by nurses screaming out (Yiska's voice) foul curses. © 2016 Terry Collett |
