“The Potholed Roads to Reopening”

The potholed roads
to reopening via viral loads
whistle blowers protesting
promotions of solely
political cronies as coronas
encircle the globe
facts getting glossed over
hopes going up in pyre smoke
wailing, “That’s no joke!
stoking acknowledgements
of contaminated meat
processing plants as “poppycock”
pitting pork chops against people
as meat packers don bandannas
in colorful patterns even black-
strapped sleep masks ...
