A common cold

A common cold

A common cold seems as slithering

 from person to person

 coming to rest in a particular victim..

The mind races backward searching for

the hiding places from which this misery

sprang forth..

But we know, don't we, that our only reality

is NOW.. and so the purpose served

by the mind's searching for those faucet germs

that drafty room:

these identify this search 

and all searching

as defenders of life's

separations and

what else?:

a common cold...
