Mass

The mass began forming early 

and by noon had taken over 

the human frame. 

By three o’clock, it had taken 

over the office floor, holding 

the staff hostage. 

Now the mass makes demands, 

orders too much coffee, and has 

begun a merger. 

Soon the mass will be inter- 

continental, taking over Europe 

and then Asia. 

Then space. 

And it all started with eschewing 

a visit to the doctor.
