Like a private nightclub, this bright ambulance.
Modular interior, glitter-futuristic
fitted jewel box kitted out with drugs
(theirs, yours in a bag grabbed from home).
Spa recliner, straps, young paramedics
like DJs, bouncers, sit-down comedians
bantering about traffic.
I stroke your tripping head
while we ride backwards
to the cancer choir,
soprano wail and techno beat.
Inner zones of ER, curtains like field-tent flaps.
Patients recline, royals enrobed at battle or fête,
unspeaking or bellowing demands.
One trills for absent Tom, a (long-dead?) spouse.
In counterpoint, another laments...
