JONATHAN A. FEINBERG WAITING A beetle ran across the cracked wooden floor, the ceiling fan lazily circled over head as the sun shot through the dense particles of air and glanced off the rim of the bronze banister, he looked down and noticed the coffee stain he hadn't removed since lunch, and sank a little deeper into the old creaking chair whose supports he felt stabbing into his side. He loosened the moist starched collar sticking to his neck, and felt a bead of sweat run down his side. 'N f THE CLIMB Just a brief pause, a ledge, a small rest, heart pounding, mouth dry the view, the expanse just beyond: And then, cool ice wind blows my thick moist skin a chill As my parched bleeding hands dig in, dirt between my nails and pull the last final tug upward. 1 t 1 -A N vi'-'S ,.l.. ,f,,...- is -4 ..i. '- li ...ij It was late summer the old comfortable faces were no longer around each corner, the carpet smelled new and we all sat ln black swiveling seats for days at a time and wondered who is he, and she, and when is it over, when will I learn or know something? The aches and pains of new books and new words: 'One of you must rub the face, hands, legs and groin with vaseline to slow their decomposing' And you scream, and ache, and sometimes cry but study like never before. And then, you begin to feel and to look to touch and to gently push, grip and tap and llstenf and to return and smile: 'Mr. Jones, I neglected to look at your eye grounds, or, what year did you say you had your 2nd herniorraphy repair?' And the little black bag feels good, and you hope someone sees you carrrying it to the car 'Yes, l'm studying to be a Dr.' And then the cold bed comes every third night, and you watch the earliest glimmer of light grow stronger as you sit in the stone cold silence of an early morning hospital watching the woman's pale tired face before you as you write: 'Called 4 A.M. for third espisode of hematemesis, approx. 400cc of bright red blood, ice water lavage no longer bloody return, two units packed red cells infusing, v.s. stable, surgeon notified! Monday evening after the weekend on call the daylight seems brighter, the greens greener and you bound out the door the air an atmosphere of sounds and smells and each simple pleasure becomes a ioy.
