Still negative, although I’ve got a cough,
and feel fatigue most every afternoon,
my chatter with a doctor made me scoff –
I’m tired cause I’m out of bed too soon
each morning, and the reason breathing’s off
is hanging with a 5 year-old in June.
My body took his virus (or his phage),
and napping is the ticket at my age.
