Oh!
to be young and invincible again

In middle years
that sickeningly sweet
too familiar human nature
“It won’t happen to me or at least this time”
the super-spreaders’ unspoken motto
as they continue to party
myriad John Belushi(s) in Animal House

So the fines come out
justifiably
for all those who stoke that second wave
or as a colorful politician recently remarked
“A few fries short of a Happy Meal”
