Sitting on the crosstown bus,
I couldn’t help but hear
A cellphone conversation,
Announcing loud and clear:
“Yes, I went to the doctor.
He said it’s an infection.
He was surprised I went to work;
My throat failed his inspection.
My glands were swollen and he said
My mucous membranes glistened!”
I didn’t try to eavesdrop, but
I wish I hadn’t listened.
I thought of her bacteria
Free-floating in the air.
She was oblivious or else
She really didn’t care.
I hope those germs remained with her,
‘Cause I can guarantee
I will be pissed beyond compare
If they transferred to me!
