Capture a Contagion

Capture a Contagion

capture a contagion
before spreading it about
witness its presence
turn it inside out

could this be something harmful?
a belief or practice that’s easy to spread?
does it amplify the life we want
or do we assign it a code red?

don’t let others’ perspectives
influence who we want to be
emergency measures may be needed
to snuff out what we don’t want to seed
