I am a geologist I tell the young nurse oh that's so interesting where did you work actually I still do and when I get out of here I'll be looking at fossil reefs hundreds of miles from the sea it's the greatest job in the world except for saving lives, of course then I tell her I'm a poet too how does that work she asks poetry is everywhere science is too I have 11 more patients today and I'm also a full-time student and have 2-year-old child makes me feel like an underachiever I better let her get back to racing the Red Queen
