Day 1 - Later

I am 1 day old

I am kicking. I am punching. I must pull out this tube. I hate it !

I see people above me.

They are doctors. They will keep me alive. They are wonderful.
They are nurses. They will keep me alive. They are wonderful.

They are talking about me. 'Too agitated' they say. 'Morphine' they say

I have a tube in my leg. Liquid flows into my veins.

I sleep. the sleep of the drugged.

I am calm. The tube is there in my throat but I sleep

But it is not a good sleep and all is not well.
