no nurse

Rain came. 

But no Nurse came. 

No name was entered in the computer 

As having been scheduled. 

No one called to say I would be 

Training a new nurse. 

It was a lie. Ghost Shift. 

A way to keep the family placated,

But not having to do any work. 

I told the Mom and Dad. 

In advance. “This is a ghost shift!”

When it happened 

as I predicted, the Dad 

switched companies 

ON THE SPOT! 

If they can’t fill one shift,

How will they fill 30?

Hint: they never intended to. 

Yet they are sending out texts

To help with 3 new cases. 

Good riddance. 

I hope the nurse that cussed me out

Is never back, either. 

This and Green + White Kratom. 

One, two - punch!

Also this. 

The blue line is how I felt. 

I slept hard and fast. 

KFC from the family. 

Steak from the other day. 

Will be making more tonight. 

The only thing I don’t like 

About being away from home 

Is having no scale. 

All these years, i still like to 

 weigh every day.
