Donating plasma again
Left arm, blue ring
& today has been the slowest by far
It’s been 55 minutes
& I’ve just now sat down
Where I’ll probably wait another 30
Before I even get started
Then 45 if I’m lucky
& I bleed fast enough
To get out of here before 10
When my appointment was set for 8
Don’t have a schedule
If you’re not going to manage it
…
9:12
& I’m finally starting
Normally I’d be getting unplugged
Around this time, but whatever
Plus, they didn’t do a great job
With the needle & now
I’m bleeding a bit
But whatever
No one ever gives a shit
