for the sake of
health, they spend
your
entire life tapped into
the bloodstream
like a long-legged
mosquito and its
bureaucratic stinger
hooked on
sucking off
with the bowelless
purpose
of a corporation

for the sake of
health, they are
a vector
for infectious
diseases
and a dictionary
of pre-existing
conditions
while we contribute
willingly in curbing
our own
bleeding with their free
bandaids
.
