BASKING
BASKING IN YOUR H1N1
Man clearing his throat & retching
Must be the flu I glare at him menacingly
We are both in purple Now connected by
microbes making a bee-line for my nose
I hold up my Americano defensively
While he coughs all over his hand
Were I his executioner I’d have no mercy
Not like *Madame du Barry’s When she plead:
One more minute Mr. Executioner he gave her 3
Man in purple’s microbes continue to hit me
Loose cough Hand wipes away debris
Come on Mr. Executioner drop that Guillotine

I’m an outlier. I don’t do vaccines.
