I have pink eye
she says mournfully on the phone.
i'm at the doctor's office now.
oh, you say, conjunctivitis,
I had that once when I was twelve.
it's very contagious, so I guess
I won't be seeing you tonight,
or tomorrow.
I suppose so, she says.
i'm sorry, but maybe next weekend.
so what will you do
without me. i'm not sure,
you say, plan b, or c,
I guess. Loretta has
the whooping cough,
and mary had a migraine last month,
but I think she's feeling okay.
then there's diane, if
her plantar fasciitis
isn't flaring up or linda
if she's healed
from her hysterectomy.
