Upon Testing Positive

A Poem by Neville

Upon Testing Positive

 


After all this time


I had begun


to think I might just


get away with it ..


But then,


the self-same beast


that almost


brought sweet Gaea


to her knees


made me bow low to


Covid too

It ain't nice at all mate. Here's hoping you miss out on the bonus round of long covid, because that ain't just not nice, that is a mindf**k of a thing, wrapped up in a poo parcel that doesn't even have a bow on it.
The weirdest thing about it all is its randomness. First time I thought the test was winding me up, second time I knew all about it. Then long covid came along and left me in no doubt. I could barely walk the length of myself and got out of breath getting out of bed.
On the mend now, but it was a roller-coaster from the pit of Satan's arsehole, without the usual fairground fun.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, allegedly. Just don't tell that to Michael J Fox 😊

Life as we live it... for some there ARE preventatives, for some ...cures, for others the fears, and for still others - well, another story altogether. Good pausing with you today.

Sorry to hear it, N. Hope it is of the milder sort. I still don't go anywhere without a mask.

I'm sorry to hear it bit you in the butt, Neville. I've escaped its clutches but I realize It could be watching me. I'll have to keep hiding behind trees, I guess. Get well soon, my friend.

I'm so sorry, Neville. None of us are superhumans who're immune to such things. I had it early last winter, but it wasn't too bad. Please get well soon.

........................... cheers Ken :)
Now what beast brought Gaea to her knees? Goddess of the earth, Goddess of your home? Now covid droplets are carried through the air and land at will. You will have to explain the connection for my curious mind. However as you are laid low by this nasty virus, I hope that very soon you will be on the mend and back to your normal self Neville. Sending very best wishes.
