B117
by Chris Sorrenti
A race against time
The unwanted destiny
We sit naked and afraid
In our homes turned bunkers
While the variant awaits
Circulates not far
From our front doors
70% more contagious...deadly
The cavalry’s coming!
Proclaim the politicians
Lifting the latest lockdown
While the rest of the world
Seems to have passed us by
As we wonder and worry
What will come first?
Inoculation
Or third wave?
