Everyone is smiling.
 
In their own alternate world,
widgets satellite them.
 
Smoothened skin is humanoid,
Cursor-polished humanoids gleam mildly,
stethoscopes hang from festoon lab coats ivory coated shoulders,
everyone shakes hands,
doctors look like someone from Ben Hur,
and nurses never hold bed pans.
 
Sometimes a coffee cup is thrown in.
 
Every picture that I’ve seen of heaven,
with a nimbus, a blue sky, and / or cloudy stairs,
reminds me of them.

Not sure about L3 (widgets...what exactly ARE they?) and L4 ('humanoid' - I get what you're trying to say, but it sounds forced), but everything else is lovely.
Damn dem stock photos!
'Nurses never hold bedpans' - damn right.

Everyone is smiling. this line isn't as good as the others but it sets things up so...ambivalence 
 
In their own alternate world,
widgets satellite them. this works well for the heavenly bodies line below

Every picture that I’ve seen of heaven,
with a nimbus, a blue sky, and/or cloudy stairs, all the articles/preposition/conjunction (and/or is kind of strange for poetry; we usually see this in technical writing) makes this line clunky ('a nimbus, blue sky, cloudy stairs') is an option for conciseness
reminds me of them.

damn good stuff

Thanks for reading this. I will say that a stock photo can be better than nothing when you need to add a picture somewhere. I'll make some strikeouts.
