within the hour i’m at
the hospital of KO
short for Korneuburg
already at 8:30
the waiting area filled
with ambulant patients
however a check-up is
usually quick
as doctors are efficient
but waiting for one’s turn
will test one’s patience
after all one’s a patient
yet more than that –
visiting one’s doctor fantastic
is always a pleasure
have I not spent some part
of my life
passing surgeries
two hip joint replacements
and one knee joint
as soon as the hips had
settled in for better use.
so now for the past three
years i’ve recovered
taking up my favourite
exercises of nordic walking
exploring the viennese woods
tested for attacks by man and
bugs.
a high five for all surgeons.
