The doctor´s waiting room

Patiently they sit there
Old and frail most of them
life weary.
Seated on plastic chairs
under printed posters
warning of aids and
the danger of smoking.
Then a child´s sobbing
shatters the silence
her fear or pain a reminder
that life goes on,
a new beginning meeting
with approaching endings
in a doctor´s waiting room.
