For your protection
heavy
yet flexible
it wraps
any
every
part of your body
movement is still
available
but requires more effort
the cashier at the grocery store
and the teller at the bank
can’t see it
How are you? they say
I’m fine, you say
but you’re not
you are being crushed
by the lost weight
of your loved one
and you will never
be the same again
Lead can kill you
