The Non Tinkers

She was right as rain.

In no pain.

Ready to gain

Full function.

Good lady had no gumption.

Blind like a bat

Who forgot that

Her sound wave sense had left her.

She was done listening

As the sweat beads, glistening

Slowly crept from her brow.

She was sick so hard and how

Did the good lady get here?

Her mode wasn’t all clear

But she had no fear

Her governors would protect her.

She didn’t know they’d forget her.

They were all about process.

They would not address

The fact she just bit a bullet.

They would not admit nor pull it.

It was in her now

She would go how

Ever the vaccine took her.
