Hospital Evening Untitled III

By Ed “Foots” Lipman

The Dr. makes a lot of noise

when he makes his rounds

maybe he thinks that sounds

will help us heal

The nurse is nice

she wants to know how i feel —

How can i feel?

Here in San Quentin

Here in the hospital

I don’t bother to smile at her

she’ll have to understand

when it hurts to stand or walk

pretty legs don’t mean a thing.
