I’m walking home after the gym:
Red light. Blue light. The Doppler effect.

I’m walking to school in the morning:
Red light. Blue light. The Doppler effect.

I’m discussing Discoid Lupus with my classmates:
Red light. Blue light. The Doppler effect.

I’m talking to my family on the phone.
Red light. Blue light. The Doppler effect.

I’m studying in my apartment: Red light. Blight. The Doppler effect.

I’m trying to finish a chart review. Red light. Blue light. The Doppler effect.

At father’s house in the suburbs:
My ears stop ringing.
I can think.
My lungs fill with fresh air.
I can breathe,
My heart rate slows.
I can relax.
My eyes drink up the darkness.
I sleep soundly.

I drive back to Philadelphia.:
Red light. Blue light. The Doppler effect.

My thoughts wander: when I finish school…when I finish training, I do not wish to live near the red light, the blue light, or the Doppler effect.

How lucky I am to have that choice.
