The booster’s needle pricks my arm
Avoiding Covid, which causes harm.
arm is a bit sore
nothing more
than a jab
but it feels like a stab
odd since I’m addicted to tattoos
does the jab bother you?

A really interesting take on a subject that’s been debated hotly across the world. I agree – the actual jab itself feels more than a usual injection – and more like the ‘stab’ you mention. It’s so much about what these injections represent, isn’t it? A really thoughtful poem that made me think back to my own reaction to getting these jabs.
