A Poetic Narrative

Delta Variant. I am you,

pretending to be me, my personaliy

is not what you have, you are

divergent, telling everyone

how fearful you are, what an

operation you perform

on the human body, so tough,

I am not you but you are within me,

& everyone else on this planet, we

who are tired of wearing masks,

avoiding each other for we are

plague carriers& those of us

who are vaccinated cast a side-eye

to those who are not, a new classism

has been created & this world will

never be the same
