Spring 2020

Contagious, openly ravaging our neural American vacancy,
ignorance retaliates upon sapience.
 
that lucent fever
            outrage contagion
amidst dissociating clan

We are discovering our country. people
stand there and are involved. our
country is a think upswing. today
I spoke with the market well, and he
thinks it will be letter V.
fully open, V will grow

                        dramatically.
 
molecular detente
            over dental mollification
a red pandemic
                        catching the daemon napping
draped in fomites
            wipeless and flustered
                                    covert morbidity
