My roommate stirs beyond the pinstriped curtain.
My first time here on G9.
The AIDS ward.
The cheery D&D building intentionality of the decor made me feel like jumping out a window.
I'd been lying on a gurney in an ER corridor for 19 hours next to a psychotic druggie with a voice like Abby Hoffman's.
He was tied up or down with strips of cloth.
He tried to slug a nurse.
and sent up a grating adenoidal wine all night.
Nurse, nurse, untie me, please.
These rags have strange powers.
By the time they found a bed for me, I was in no mood to appreciate the clever curtains in my room, the same fabric exactly as the drapes and sheets of a P-town guest house in which I once partied?
Stayed?
All I can remember is the pattern."
Nor did it help to have the biggest queen on the nursing staff clap his hands delightedly and welcome me to AIDS land.
I wanted to drop dead immediately.
That was the low point.
Today, these people are my friends in the process of restoring me to life a second time.
I can walk and talk and breathe simultaneously now.
I draw a breath and sing happy birthday to my roommate, Joe.
He's 51 today.
