Before I try to edit too much, I am wondering what you think the poem is trying to convey. Thanks for reading, TqB.(10-06-2022, 10:35 AM)brynmawr1 Wrote: You can’t expect me to spend that

Ten-day quarantine or decapitation,

A piece of me goes to the lab

Is " pitty" a typo, or a bit of slang I just don't know?
Don't quite get connection between last line and the poem.
Third stanza is my favorite. It could stand alone.
