BY TERRY TROWBRIDGE
Inspired by the characters of Chicago Med.
All his strengths are his weaknesses;
does everything correctly, always,
a dreamboat heartthrob for a hospital
allergic to liability,
what administrator wouldn’t fall in love?
When he is wrong, he is wrong the right way.
White knight, the arch Sir Galahad who loses jousts
because he cannot break the courtly laws
for trivia like love and loss,
the safest road the road most taken,
warrior returned from war
where reliable rules and protocols
warded tents against incursions, surge and chance.
Ethan they sigh Ethan why
Hawkeye foil, Trapper agonist,
Dr. Honeycut for a Hoolihan assist.
He’s tough he’s buff his brave enough,
But ends up a hardass, a lawyer, lift-bro guy.
