the hospital room
smelled of urine
and chemicals
disinfectants
just conscious enough to grip
the tubing in his nose
that drained fluid from his gut
he rolled his eyes
staring without seeing
yanking the tube out
inch by inch
until the nurses
restrained him
finally strapping his arms
to the rails
Words and Feathers 
Everybody’s nightmare. You nailed it in so few words. Nice work
Thanks. It is pretty horrifying.
