today’s reason

I write
to distract symptoms
of
hard breathing
and pain in various systems

I could say
it’s counting age or ongoing heart
disease
but
this is new infection based on
where I live

I have a place and pay for it
and now
need another
feeling
old
disabled
poor
which could be the a place though
it’s definitely me
