While Waiting In The CT Scan Room of The Hospital

I fan through a magazine 

noticing a model's

bold red lips kissing the 

happy

stripes of a lollypop  

via

when I realize under the

 hot white lights 

of the

CT scan room

that the blaze of contrasts

in the photo

collide

with my ability 

to focus

  

which make me slightly dizzy

*****

 however

the white and aqua

on the next page

via

are mirrored

 by beach vignettes

via

 

while serene scenes 

of  

home and garden

via

help

 

the colors of this hour

to join 

at a horizon 

via

and then as 

the doctor comes in with 

the results of the 

second mammography 

which warranted concern

it's helpful to observe

how

candescense 

unites with 

 the velvet darkness

of an image 

  

to make a 

comforting impression.
