Blood CountsIn this polite place:A hand trained in the waysof death and deliverycups a pill, slides a gurney,shrink-wrapped, bubbling,through sterile chambersoverfilled with hintsof salvation servedon sheets of steel.Suffering is silent here:Purple or black fishes dartin diversionary circlesat the backs of smiling clerks,when blood countsdon't add up.
