Poetry Day: Careless Infector

Posted on September 15, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

(Well . . . This poem was disturbingly prophetic.)

I hear you coughing

With nothing in your way

Spraying toxic spit

In the air I breathe

Forcing me to join you

In a fevered bed of pain

No one to care for us

Because we are too ill

You refuse to fight the virus

Hiding in a whimpering heap

Leaving me to push myself

Prolonging my disease

While you recover fast

And run off to join the world

Abandoning me to suffer

With the virus you have left me

    This is me with every kid who coughs over the table in small groups.
