COvid comes

magical thinking

i think about it
covid comes
makes it happen

shopping for
but not buying
jigsaw puzzles
covid comes
puzzles sold out

urge boycott
of trump economy
stay at home
eat at home
covid comes
jobs lost

watch porn
man complains
i can’t breathe
covid comes
i can’t breathe

my apprentice
dream of power
floods world
with buckets
of covid

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

sorcery link
covid hospital
falcon van
power of ra

my bad
or not
​
being a demigod
means
never having to say
you're sorry

not done yet
thought about
virus to sterilize
men with
warrior gene

angry men
don’t want masks
want women
drunk at parties

moscow
we have a problem
weak sperm
​on launch pad

i can’t breathe
becomes
i can’t breed

the meek shall
follow fauci
the meek shall
inherit the earth
or some part thereof

​nietzsche
​
untroubled, scornful, outrageous
how wisdom wants us to be
she is a woman and never
loves anyone but a warrior
