All these voices and sounds
I am alone
So I assume none are for me
But someone wants to be friendly
A stranger
The usual weather crap
Across the room
A conversation about mammograms
And breast cancer over a cell phone
Is repeated four times very loudly
As if she is speaking to the entire room
And not the various operators
That transfer her to someone else each time
And then the call ends
But her voice doesn't
The staff are also busy laughing
Maybe the most unprofessional I have ever seen
In this renowned hospital
But they are only receptionists
Talking about boyfriends
And picking favorite patients
To break through the line to the front
I wish the loudest could just go first
I need some quiet
