The woman in white
looks up
when the angmoh nurse opens the door
and closes it behind me.
She squints
behind her glasses
and smiles
like she's really happy
to see me.
(Her eyes light up
and everything.)
I frown at her.
She asks me to take a seat
and looks
down
at the papers in on her desk.
Her ponytail
of brown curls
tumble
over her shoulder,
distracting me
for a moment.
What can I do for you, Fiona?
I stare at her,
uncomprehending
until I remember
I'm the one
who asked to see her
on my own terms,
without warning.
Maybe I'm more predictable
than I realise—
the papers in her hands
have my name on them.
Her computer
shows my profile
and notes in a font too small
for me to read.
