Crippling 4-2

Crippling.

When call received 

relates temps, when 

you already knew about 

the cough.

All you can consider is 

of course

& all you can remember is

the main character who was brave 

minus the ‘am’

Everything is pink.

Color-coded since codes

became numbers

and started counting time

from 4.16.17

3 years pink;

now times two, or 

plus one

So it’s crippling.

You want them to be safe

Isolate

Remain inside

while trying to keep

things separate 

Crippling because 

it’s consuming 

Temps fell

Night shortened 

But times two

or

plus one

is ok

Not crippling because I 

care;

Crippling because 

I can’t live 

without them
