this is sort of outline
to be filled in later


my mother said
there has only been
one white doctor

I thought back
had I SEEN any WHITE people
I wasn't sure 

the hospital was 
different enough 
NOT to send me BACK 
to joan or my father

not TOO bad

AND it was NOT like it was for COVID
in FACT 
there was SOMETHING about it 
that SEEMED 
SPECIFICALLY different 

can't quite put my finger on it
