it was early morning
the sunrise a blotted lava lozenge
volcano magma tangerine
felt so cold in this building..
the lift door opened
he was whistling
i said hi how are things
he said good though his left arm is still really hurting
it still feels pretty numb
he said he still cannot lift anything..
i said sorry did you have an accident
he said no
it is an after-effect of the jabs
he had his second eleven days back
and his arm has felt this numb way since then
so i asked him if he mentioned this to his doctor
he replied no he did not really want to bother his doc with it
so he just phoned up his surgery
they reassured him it was nothing to worry about
in fact it proves the vaccines are working well in his system
and the nausea and headaches are normal too..
he may have caught the look on my face
for he said no honestly it will okay
no need to worry mate
because lots of people feel this way
as it is a normal thing..
he was trying to reassure me
so i nodded
he carried on whistling
i went down the lift
and walked out the building..
the bastards..
