PAD Day 12: The War at Home

 Today's prompts from NaPoWriMo and Write Better Poetry: (1) Write a poem about something tiny, and (2) write a "counting" or "not counting" poem. April is shaping up to be a pretty busy month for me, so I may be posting shorter poems as we go along, but I'll try my best to keep up. Today is another nonet:

The Other War
 
you look like a clove-studded golf ball
under the microscope, but you've
changed everything in our world,
as we count casualties,
little insurgent―
we mask, we vax,
but still you
invade
us
