Infection

You got inside me like
bacteria
growing in the dark and damp corners of my heart.
Symptoms include:
irritation
swelling
shortness of breath
fatigue
and
chronic pain.

A routine infection.

A strong dose of logic
five hundred milligrams
taken with fluids
will soon flush you out.

But still
I worry
about side effects.
