don't get sick

i'm avoiding
the handshake
this season.
eating vitamin c
like candy. i'm
staying clear
of the cough,
the gagging
in the super
market. i'm
disinfecting
everything
with those
wipes, stepping
aside when i
hear that sneeze,
that clearing
of the throat,
and wheezing
sound, like a
balloon losing
bad air.
i'm limiting
kissing to
just a peck,
cuddling
to no more than
a few minutes
at a time,
which is going
to make it
a long, cold
winter.
