Influenza Allegory [Week's News
Poem, January 11, 2013]
Influenza love story:
An epidemic allegory.
A child vomits virus cloud;
Recovers, fades into the crowd.
Influenza tragedy,
Is nothing more than comedy
That has lasted too long
And has the same corny song:
No no no!
Inside the subway car the millionaire
And the schizophrenic beggar share
A vent, are going in the same way,
Share destinations, the crowd, the
sway.
“Influenza
has officially reached epidemic proportions in the United States,
with 7.3 percent of deaths last week caused by pneumonia and the flu,
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday.”
