Poem: Greener Grass

just a cold to a healthy being

sorry not sorry, i’m jealous

can’t i have just a cold?

the naivety to believe

in simple black and white?

take a couple of Paracetamol

and not need bed rest, worry

about ending up in hospital

or know trauma from colds?

live where a cold’s just a cold?

you’re jealous of me

i “get to be lazy and rest”

meanwhile i’m jealous of you

for having just a cold
