it WAS a SHINGLES outbreak 

I was ASKING 
QUESTIONS
she was supposed to have
an IN PERSON 
training today and her trainer is a registered 
NURSE, as well as being a trainer 

I'm LIKE 
did you HAVE training?
did you show it to her?

BECAUSE 
she was giving me this
gobble-di-goop
which included her morning hygiene 
her sleeping patterns 
&
how I needed to be
IMMEDIATELY 
AVAILABLE 

WHAT apparently happened 
after tooth pulling

when she bothered to run a wash cloth
over her stinky bits
IMMEDIATELY 
BEFORE 
her training 

she went
EWWW

she SHOWED her trainer

WHO SAID 
NO WAY 
you NEED to get THAT 
LOOKED at

have YOUR DAUGHTER 
take you to see a
DOCTOR 

she NOTICED it today 
BUT 
WHO KNOWS 

I have a hard time guessing which is the entrance 
from WEST PARK 

SO
I went down the 
FEEDER
& when we finally SEEMED to be there 

I'm LIKE 
which street is this
CROSSING

EDLOE
she says with all the conviction of
someone who ACTUALLY 
READ the sign

BUT 
as I drove under the lights 
I LOOKED 

BUFFALO SPEEDWAY

you didn't LOOK 
you just KINDA THOUGHT it was 
EDLOE 
& you knew I was trying to 
KNOW exactly 

BUT 
you said it like you were sure

YES

BUT 
when there were
QUESTIONS
about whether she had gone to get the
VACCINE 

which I am
SURE 
she DIDN'T 

because I didn't drive her
& MORE importantly 
I didn't hear
ANY
B*TCHing about 
POOR SERVICE 
or incompetence 

OR
a NEED
to be PRAISED for having done it at all

she told the doctor 

she was PRETTY SURE she had 
gotten the FIRST one 

BUT 
I'm PRETTY SURE 

when she says 
PRETTY SURE 

it's LIKE 

SIR
