The disposable latex glove contracted and relaxed, A medical jellyfish with a longer reaching sting, Destined for the belly of a shark‌ or a penguin if you prefer. The blue mask drifted in warm currents of air, a discarded leaf among many Let fall in the late autumn of the earth, a sign that winter Was drawing ever nearer, when many a tree would die. One should not question this plague as catalyst, braced To overcome, but whether we are factors for or against. This tragic waste Now more visible unless we choose once more to close our eyes.
