day TWO HUNDRED and SIXTY ONE

OK, maybe an answer

what is health
everyone has it
we all live

survive this
hurtling rock
racing through space

then we all
start to
lose it

every one of us
the baby in
the womb

who never makes
it to breathe
her first breath

the child with
an incurable
disease

the old man with
the giant ego
and horrible diet

and you
and unless you
think you are

better than
any one
other person

we all deserve
a chance
to live

it
costs
money

so as soon
as you start
earning

you can
invest in
your health

so those who
can’t, All
of them

will live
