I open my eyes, and by seeing, am seen;
Leverage circuitry, witness the outbreaks
Of rekindled relationships: cholera.
The names of diseases appear on my screen
Lacking a meaning beyond definition.
I am watched as I voyeur the monitor
Considering menace. Computers are dry,
Likewise myself: we both share dispositions.
We are pulling the themes from polyphonies
Of history, memory. Everything old,
New, in-between is an echo, a counter
To the trend and all lead to epiphanies.
"Medical workers in Haiti on Friday called the upward trend in deaths and illnesses in the cholera outbreak "alarming" as the earthquake-devastated nation's already strained health system overflowed with the sick. "
