and doesn't even know it
a fly, a pence fly
and one of my earliest pieces
polka dotted horseflies
i do not ask them why
all i do is duck my head
and hope they pass me by
i can recite it without thinking
without thinking
some might turn and frown
you know that polka dotted horsefly you think is funny
was infected by the corona virus
my best friend was infected by the virus
and you have to talk about disease
and i find myself saying
that's not what i meant!
but it's too late now
the idea is stuck in their head
i find no words
no jokes
after all
covid is a serious matter
