You know you need to ‘get a life’ when you’re inspired by a medical procedure 😀😉
X-rays
Sitting almost naked
Undies and backless gown
Reminiscent of hospitalisation
Though the gown is black.
A little chilly as I wait
Not worried by this
Voices and laughter nearby
Such a tiny room.
Soon in the examination room
Pleasant young woman
Swivels bulky machines with ease
Sliding in overhead tracks.
Directions very precise
Toes together, heels apart
Breathe in, hold still
Roll this way and that.
The procedure over quickly
Satisfying the requirements
The examination complete
Pictures of internal structures.
Results will soon tell
If arthritic or not
The best treatment suggested
Relief hopefully projected.
