I Just Don't Feel Like Going to the Morgue Today

I just don't feel like going to the morgue today.

Maybe it's the rain.
Though I'm thankful for
the rain today.
I stepped in a puddle
of pee from where my patient
accidentally
urinated on the floor.
And now the rain puddles
will wash it away.

I just don't feel like going to the morgue today.

It could be the time of the month.
After all,
my hormones can increase
my sense of smell
at certain times.

I just don't feel like going to the morgue today.

Perhaps it's the holidays.
I'm prone to the winter blues and
the morgue
certainly wouldn't bring me
much cheer.

I just don't feel like going to the morgue today.

Two of my patients died today.
And almost a third.
It was a day like today
that coined me my nickname,
"Death Maiden."
Though I think
sometimes
they just
go in threes.

I just don't feel like going to the morgue today.

I took care in
cleaning their bodies.
And I tried to be gentle
as I bagged them.

I just don't feel like going to the morgue today.

I just don't feel like going to the morgue today.
