This’ll need some explanation - treating ‘cold-sore’
inflammation on your upper lip th’ 1st day of 2018,
yes Monday 1 January no less, is innocuous - tho’
a bizarre happenstance suggesting things ‘appear’
to be off-key; yet taking temperature readings into
account impresses we’ve had higher heat, & more
thunderous rain & tennis-ball size hail stones than
usual - but in truth - & reality - it hasn’t been cold
So seeking which anomaly took hold of a Winter’s
right to express, as it sees fit, its preferred herpes
simplex virus we’re left pondering; it seems stress,
either mental or emotional can lead to an outbreak
as well as of dental treatment, illness & lip-trauma
through contact & kissing - plus exposure to sun
Well - when one has survived th’ festive season in
all its manifest regalia you’d probably see ‘herpes’
less a burden than an easy out - given th’ way we
populate these redoubts of our various beliefs but
survive as the feat is visibly repeated in a summer
season where we publicly share our commonality
