allergic to children

the older i get
the more allergic
i am
to children.
i break out
in hives
if i see a baby
in a stroller rolling
by.
anyone under the age
of thirty,
makes me nervous.
makes
my anxiety go
sky high.
this is why they put
all the old people
in senior homes together
and
have communities
with gates and guards,
allowing only those
over fifty-five.
