Needling

.................................................................

Dear queers and allies,



Imagine a place plagued by HIV/AIDS,
plus intense fear and hatred between ethnic groups.
Then attackers start stabbing folks
with hypodermic needles.
Sci-fi?
This dystopia already exists,
in China's Far West.




Consider how easily a used needle can provoke panic,
whether it's actually infected
or not.
Let's hope this terror tactic doesn't spread.
