Ode to Corona

Here I am in isolation,

there you are in quarantine

Isn’t there some island nation

where we could go, where no one’s been?

Toilet paper, hand sanitizer,

governments their people track;

Do not rape Her or euthanize Her –

Mother Earth is fighting back.

Wall Street’s crashing, PornHub’s booming,

lockdown for every one of us;

Meanwhile outside nature’s blooming –

humans are the real virus.

Here we are in isolation,

humankind’s been “go to your room”ed;

Don’t eat bats – it’s self-preservation! –

or next time our species’s doomed.
