1 year + 2 million deaths
later more/less this
new unchanged world
< maskless but too
many culling their own
herd some muttered
& invisible tides of all
we lost ebbed & surged
subtle toxic we grew
resigned to altered aisles
recently furtively
rearranged to conceal
steel shelves stocked w/
lack & ugly plastic
bottles promising protection
we certainly needed it
after the unthinkable
undoable unspeakable
which had been said
& done for 1,462 days
more/less
1 year + 2 million deaths
later a blue spark flickered
curiously could it be
& wondering itself
a miracle redemption or
reprieve deserved after all
had we not at last
succeeded in excising 1
singularly pernicious affliction
