Shape the Frame

It hurts to feel ill
But not, in each case,
To have come down sick.

Would you like to be
Sick but not feel ill
Or well but feel ill?

See, this is why folks
Eat too much, drink too
Much, and dose up drugs.

This is why we have
Faith, fierce games, and prayers.
Signs aren’t just their paints.

Frames know what they hold.
What they hold’s not just
The shape of their frame.
