Cubicle 18


I was unwell by the time

I reached Cubicle 18

After a while I found myself

Sitting on the floor

Not really wanting to get up

It was then that I heard

A woman calling for assistance

I peered over the wall

And saw a naked woman

Weeping quite furiously

I invited her to sit with me

So that I might comfort her

She asked me why I was naked

I asked her why she was naked

Neither of us knew why

So we hugged and comforted

Each other without language
