another buddy Bobby

incognito

cog

ergo  he went to see Bobbyhad to go to him

he was confined in a sterile hospital cubicle State-of-the-Art  he couldnt touch himhug himcomfort him

    Shrinkwrapped was what he thought

to bursts of oxygenbaffled the plastic swelled crinkled writhed

Bobbys bed  green fabric

the machines surrounding him  bright  blinking   busy

                                                            chirping in concert

monitoring him feeding him watering him draining him breathing for him

                                                                              on occasion Bobby soundlessly mouthed something

eyes closed face quizzical

grows sullen

mouth purses

eyebrow raises

suddensmile fails

                    falls

he wasnt sleeping

his incapacitated friend

in the gripscoils of a technological python

is becoming a piece of machinery

a cog in the circuitry of machineliving

every  one  dependent  on  the  other

Bobby

        is at once the most dependent cog the most indispensable cog

    he shuddered at the realisation

his friend
