Emergency Room

 No, I didn't have to go. ...and I don't know if she works in one, but...

Around the start of Winter, when it was really that cold out... I met a Nurse while shopping in a large store. She was wearing O.R. Scrubs which meant to me... Her scrubs fit her shape WAY too well. From my experiences, ONLY REAL Nurses... They take The Gold Medal on uniforms.

I was walking into an aisle and I saw her, and I started signing 'Doctor! Doctor!, by Thompson Twins. Not loud, but at a level as I walked by to let her know I noticed her. No one else in the isle, she asked me what did I say, AND he sings that song. My back was turned. As I turned around to answer her, I sang...' Just a little pinprick. There'll be no more, ahhhhhh But you may feel a little sick.' Pink Floyd, 'Comfortably Numb'. Her grey eyes lit up. 

I found out she works an overnight shift 4 days a week, lives by herself, has no children, no boyfriend... She enjoys staying home. I told her a little about me...and that mostly every night I am up overnight drawing or doing something. I sleep during the day and start my day at 6pm. We walked and talked for about an hour, and exchanged numbers. I told her that if she has a hard time sleeping on her nights off, come by my place and just hang out. Showed her my ID. Before she turned and went her way, she told me...  'I'm kind of shy, and it might take me a couple of months to even call you. Boy she wasn't lying, she called the other night.

Just a little after 2am. Asked to confirm it was me, told me she was sitting outside in her car, and asked if she come in. I honestly didn't remember her or her name... But if any woman calls me after 2am, by my name and ASK can she come in... I'll ask face to face when I get a good look at her. ..and I did. She looked familiar, don't know where from, so I went with. 'Listen, I did a lot of acid in the late 70's..so, can you remind me?' She burst out laughing. But I told her I was serious, and that I have flashbacks from some goo...no, some GREAT acid trips.' She reminded me and.. I said 'Oh yeah!!' I started doing sort of Beat Box sounds with my mouth and lips. It was supposed to represent a Porn Track, and told her so when she got that look of what is wrong, are you alright. MORE laughter.

Invited her inside, and she said I like this. Took her shoes off and sat on my bed. Next thing I know we both are naked. She fell asleep, and I WOKE her up 45 minutes later. Then I let her sleep. She slept until about 12:30 in the afternoon. She washed her face, brushed her teeth and I walked her to her car.

Before she pulled off... She told me this... She said she would come and see me again, but not as often as I would like her to. About once, no more than twice in a month. She pulled away from the curb, stopped, and honked the horn. I went to her car and she said...'Almost 64 years old, you look good, damn good.' Waved me closer to her car window, and almost shoved her tongue down my throat. She told me she has a nickname for me, 'Doc'. I told her to go to FB right now, and I gave her my name. I told her to look under my name, and I walked away. She started honking her horn and ponding her steering wheel like a Mad Woman. 

Under my name on FB, is my nickname from when I was 10, or 11 years old...' Doc '
