the convention

A Poem by anais.vionet

a brief corona virus political poem

Florida’s virus guideline’s are available on demand
stand a little closer, they’re written in the sand.
Houston’s completely open - we have been for a while
Infections are really up here - but resisting’s not worthwhile.

Infection transmission science has a glossy magazine
full of sexy models to stoke the immunologist’s dreams.
diseases follow patterns that are easily explained
but science can only help us when rationality is maintained.

Trump insists it’s over - the Pandemic was a fake.
The President even lies - when his supporters are at stake.
You have to sign a waver to participate in the show
so if you get infected - you can’t pretend you didn’t know.
