Stay away! Don’t get near me, don’t you dare look
in my direction.  I will avert my view, thinking sin into your soul.

Stay away! You *****.  Contagions, toxins seeping out of
your pores.  You say no, I don’t see them, but I know.

Stay away!  You monster.  You murderer.  You show
your lawlessness on your sleeve, free for all to see.

Stay away!  You cleared your throat!  An atrocity, the newest
crime in the penal code.  Congratulations, you are now a felon.

Stay away!  There is no such thing as normalcy.  All those times
you ventured into our world with a cold, you were forgiven, pardoned.

Stay away! But now the rules flipped upside down.  Conform, obey,
bow out of deference, or else you will be tweeted about, social media shamed.

Stay away!  Is this really how we want to live, creating strangers
out of neighbors, spawning judgment out of regularity?

Stay away!  And now I am marked, green lighted, your newest
bashing target.
