Wounded

Jade  East ( dresses so spiffy)

&

Dew West (slippery when wet)

     Wound up together

laid up

under wraps

& restraints

in St. James Infirmary

( a pastel framed on the ward wall

displays a water tower riddled

w/bullet holes

pouring blood out into a watering can on wheels)

T.V ever on channel 2

anti-bodies flow through tubes into both characters,

trying to quell big diseases

but the medicine of man

is not strong enough

to dress Jade down

nor dry Dew West out

nor stop the screams along  hospital halls

nor still the sirens wail

as remote ( like 12 thousand miles away)

CONTROLLED

   WEAPONED

       DRONES

circle villages

hunting for bad guys ( who pray five times daily)
