You shrink <br />Daily <br />Laundered and pressed <br />In your beanstalk growing pyjamas <br />Tight in white <br />You fight <br />Death <br />In white hospital corners <br />Drip fed <br />You die dry <br />In rigid linen<br /><br />Simone Inez Harriman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/end-stage/
