Plague Poems on Nostr: He has a bad cold really, more of a case of the flu, but he insists it’s nothing ...

He has a bad cold
really, more of a case of the flu,
but he insists it’s nothing
it’s not a big deal
after all, he insists, that everyone
always gets sick
with a bad cold or flu
at the start of the summer
and before I can stop myself
I reply: no, they don’t.
