Two Covid Poems: “The Book of Distractions” and “Romans”

The Book of Distractions (a covid poem)

I really don’t need to know the history

In The Beginning 

                                    (I know)

I’m more in receiving

And learning

What I need now

            To get the Job done

To keep us moving forward

                                    (I know)

Once I’ve mastered That

            Assuring the Future

Then I’ll have the Luxury

Of reviewing the Past

                                    (I know)

Romans (a covid poem)

“You will cooperate.
and you will participate
in our experiment
with population control.
You will cooperate
or suffer the consequences.”
