A Mother’s Advice
I should have known
my mother’s advice
would save the world.
Wash your hands, she said.
Cover your mouth when you cough,
she said. Stay home
if you are sick, she said.
But here I am, much too old,
finally listening.
What else,
I can’t help but wonder,
did she get right
while I was too busy to listen.
