Close Your Eyes, Open Wide

This Monday Poetry for April 13, 2026 is Close Your Eyes, Open Wide. (Not to be taken literally).

*

 Doctor’s Visit

Close your eyes, open wide

take your medicine.

Have faith in science,

blind or otherwise;

for Science is God.

*

Get in line, get injected.

Get measured.  Get tested.

You are full of germs,

viruses and infectious,

so close your eyes, open wide

take your medicine.

*

Cancer is coming

to a theatre near you.

COVID injected nano bots.

Cell towers taller than redwoods.

Microwaves of mind speak.
