Contagious

I did not see it coming
as I turned the corner.
You came out of nowhere
and I was infected.
I could not keep it
I didn't want to.
He was unaware that
he was the next victim.
It was early morning
I did not desire it.
Last evening was enough
I had more than I needed.
Its contagious
I have already passed it.
The next person is lucky
he didn't sleep all night.
It made its way 
through the day.
It traveled through the city
it returned to me at night.
I could feel it coming up
I wanted to suppress.
I have work to do
I don't want it anymore.
This yawn is infecting
me and making me lazy.
I wish you hadn't given it to me
I wish I wasn't sleepy.
