Sickness

Is never
An Individual Attribute

Our institutions
pay homage to
This little sister
of death.

Groans behind curtained beds


That have rarely
and perhaps only,
felt joy in passing.

The faith in medication


Is after all ..
Contingent on the perpetuation of illness
And yet, we swallow the bitter pills.
