The plastic band a sterile squeeze

The plastic band, a sterile squeeze,

Brought my own body to its knees.

The numbers flashed, a stark white line,

A quiet judgement, not quite mine.


They spoke a language, sharp and cold,

A story in the numbers told.

My pulse, a drum against the wall,

Waiting for the final call.
