Private Duty
What kind of nurse would steal a Chanel suit
from her patient after getting fired?
Slinking down 5th Ave
suit stuffed in a plastic garbage bag
slung over her shoulder
flashing sheepish glances at sentry like doormen.
Not the twenty-one year old who took the oath
‘first, do no harm.’
Winter turned to spring.
Couch surfing in a friends mildewed basement
downloading bootlegged Dylan.
Your promising career path.
