raucous night shift change
consistent laughing
giggle stream
big wedding ring gasps
honeymoon plans applauded
flirty comments zing
more smiles more laughter
suggestions of "one quick drink?"
a night cap
for the night nurse
during one more loud burst
of nursing station gossip
one nurse slips out
the back stairs and home

Ollie, I hope this doesnt mean you are in hospital. Are you okay? I love the nurses laughing. I find when one works in places where a lot of sadness goes on, laughter also occurs as a coping mechanism. Thinking of you, kiddo.
