That's When
I remembered the thing about how to get rid of it.
It had been so long since I had such a rash.
I was caught off guard, unprepared
for the furious itching it brought on,
all because of those leaves of three.
They will die down by Autumn.
I remember some facts about this situation.
Hanging on with my heart has never been the cure.
The archaeologists were more practical.
They said to ignore the directions
on the bottle. Apply it dry and let it soak in.
Not a cold shower, but hot as you can possibly
stand. Fingernails scrubbing, breaking the skin.
Then calamine, calamine!
