Vaccine

a vaccine
acknowledges
the need
for some amount
of sickness
to enter in

any entrance
is recognized
as a known point
of risk
requiring
judgment

evaluation
sets communal danger
against individual peril
asking
concern for others
be real

no room
is available
to eternalize
one response
as the only
option

a weighted choice
still favors
a common sense
the more secure
my context
the better for me

strangely
the old adage
of keeping enemies
closer
remains
truer
