Lawrence Hall
One Shade of Going Viral
A cloud of
virus-sodden tissues builds
Billow on
billow, like a summer storm
Weathering up
for the afternoon rain,
Or like a
trash-can snowman sneeze by sneeze.
A cold is like a
favorite childhood toy
Discovered in a
shoebox tucked away
Or a Robin Hood
book of summer dreams
Three days’
escape from responsibilities
And pulling at a
tissue once again
A cloud of
irresponsible indolence builds
