A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH
A cry into the world
One out
Sliding in sliding out
Faces behind the glass
A naming
An identification given
The answer yes
The statement no
A blue blanket
Yellow tape
Liquid flowing down
Pain
Screaming
Elixirs
Ailments
A call light
A light calling
A prognosis
Strange hands
A moment says
Caution
Congratulations
Someone somewhere
Is giving a high five
And a cigar
