I waited without
An appointment
Or any knowledge
If whether you closed
Your practice and went
To the Bahamas
The receptionist
Called out sick
And every incoming call
Went unanswered
to a coughing message
that no one could understand
in your voice
but not your cadence
The TV still worked though
in the dark complex
Playing a video from a VHS tape
That glitched when it got
To the end
And rewound
as a spider appeared
in front of my face
to wonder if it should bite me
or not
I tried to water the plants
but the cooler was low
and I realized that all the things
you used
to surround yourself
with
would die
when you stopped looking at them,
anyway
