Naked in the Cafeteria1Naked in the Cafeteria1 week ago in Haiku & Eastern
sitting in a
coffee shop with my test kit,
too anxious to wait
I pierce a fingertip–
the bright bead
2
hit and miss–
tossing used hypos
follow the dots,
needle trails on my stomach
from this novice's tremors
3
still new at it, yet
I don't bother with modesty
anymore
while seeking a new site
for my insulin fix
4
the doctor has me
poking myself so often,
it's like
being naked in a
school cafeteria
