Needle Night

Tonight I did my first injection ever... The idea of doing so's always been surreal. Inserting a needle in someone's body seems violent and sadistic. I was scared, curious and intrigued by doing it and therefore couldn't wait to do it. I had these scenarios where I'd freeze or blow the vein... I was calm, in control and things went drama free (damn!)... My collegue dropped me off at the subway but I thought I'd walk instead. It's a beautiful night out! I'm sleep deprived, worked for 10 hours at the hospital and have faced many challenges... And now the Rain... The sky's shouting needles on us... A soothing transparent fluid's falling freely on my face...
