to study medicine and the learning 

never ends—specialists research until

they die—spend hours on committees

as you try to learn their needs—no winning 

or losing in the thick of it 

all you want is to make them better

the prize—an empty bed

of someone who went home

grateful for the times

you hid your fatigue.
