I’m not against vaccines. I’ve had my two,
but I don’t swallow science-y reports.
I fell for their pronouncements, to eschew
the fats I flourish on and take in quarts
of “healthy” grains, which hastened my decline.
I feed my skeptic now – I follow sense
and doubt the news. I’m relatively fine,
and prospering at fairly low expense.

I’m not a fact-denier, but my trust
has been too long and sadly oft-betrayed.
I try to keep an open mind, but must
make logic of the Internet and trade.
My thinking isn’t magical. My clue
deciphers truth in what, why, how, and who.
