Who can interpret this poem by G burce bunao???

worms by G. Burce Bunao


it isn't the kind of illness
that pushes one
down flat; she still reports,
like everyone,
to the office, and the rest
of her time she lives
the way she must, holding on
to what she beleives.
but, somehow,word has seeped out
that miss ver is sick
she may not last the year
"a dirty trick"
said a voice in the room
where meets the board:
miss ver has fed the firm
much of its hoard
of profit anf prestige
all the while age
has crept after her in that
huge air cooled age
that has become her home
and now her sickbed
management will care for her
till she falls dead;
she's listed under assets
but, more than this,
it is laws that hire the doctor---
she knows it is
meantime, a few have dreams
about her chair
worms dream ----she laughs--of corpses
that they can share.

please help me to explain thie and why it is entitled worms??

Really just having a bash at this....but it seems to be talking about age. This woman- who seems unmarried by her name- is getting older and this is the illness...not a specific illness that will knock her 'down flat' but she is holding on to life. It also seems that possibly through being unmarried she has dedicated herself to her work, and now that she is aging they seem to want rid of her but have a responsibility to her hence 'management will care for her till she falls dead'. OR it could be that she has contracted some kind of illness through her vocation and so it is the management's responsibility to take care of her...'it is laws that hire the doctor'...suggesting that they have a legal requirement to care for her due to sickness contracted in the workplace.

Really not sure and I have a degree in English!!
