I am not going to die soon
I have not been diagnosed
with anything
specific
I have been diagnosed with
Being old,
over 70,
The virus takes aim at my lungs
which saw an invasion years ago
when I wasn’t paying attention,
when there wasn’t anything
to pay attention to.
It's called MAI.
It has a name, but it
won't kill me.
So I am afraid.
I am fearful of droplets
In the air
On surfaces
On the surface of my newspaper?
Not likely, but
not impossible.
I wash my hands
I wash my hands
I wash my hands
I wash my hands.
And I wash my hands again.
