Negative

In medicine, a negative

Is what you hope to hear.

At work, though, it can signal

The demise of your career.

 

A positive review of movies,

Theater, books or art

Negates all insecurities

That pans may thus impart.

 

Of one thing I am positive,

As sure as I can be,

That a Covid test that’s negative

Is what we’d want to see.
