Errant clusters germinating tightly,
I invite them in.
I welcome them.
Fighting infection is far from the possible.
Didn’t you know that laughter is infectious?
Tiny colonies spread dis-ease,
a ribbon of cellular folly along angry red flesh.
They flourish on the vanguard, quiet in the deep.
Ebola, e-coli, erroneous children born and buried.
I rest with infection running rampant.
I live with the germs enclosed.
