What Goes Up Must Come Down

After midnight
The elderly couple
Drove to the emergency room
Hunched over
Clutching a bulky coat
The receptionist
Asked what ailed him
It’s been more than four hours
She looked puzzled
Adjoining bathtubs
Holding hands
Pressing close and whispering
He revealed the problem
With a knowing look
Understood and was
Impressed
Taking a seat
Watching TV
Generic boring program
Typical triage
Waited a couple of hours
Gradually
Icicle melted
Murmuring
They went home
Softly
