corona virus
By Max Corthésy, 11
infected, undetected
putting people in quarantine
like a routine.
uncured, must endure
washing hands
a demand.
infectious, contagious
hand to food, food to mouth,
thousand dead, some sick in bed.
China, Italy
might be the death of me
countries on lock down.
watching right now
got to watch the news to see
the death count go up.
wondering if I’m next
if I cough once, I don’t know
if I’m infected, undetected.
