IMMUNITY

Presently—like swollen chunks 
of Indian 

Summer-black
cold patch—perspiring away
in last winter's

holes in the road, 
he noticed—

he was

never!

on any-

one else's home
turf anymore—be-

cause he 
could 

always just

bring these 
neat little pinch-

doses—of his 

own stuff 
along with—

wherever he'd go.
