Now I declare I’m back. I’ve tested thrice
the last six days — each time was negative.
I didn’t pay a heavy Covid price:
my lungs were spared; the fever didn’t give
me worse than weary feeling, almost nice.
It broke and I’d a week here too restive.
A little antsiness the last few days
beset me and induced a soft malaise.
