“I dreamed this scene last night,” she said,

this unknown nurse, drawing blood.

“You had on that very shirt

and I was called and asked to help.

Why this scene and not some other?

There was no drama, no critical care.”

I looked at her, smiled and said,

“No drama, no crisis, just patient care?”

She smiled too and nodded her head.

“A message for us all,” she said.
