I figure it was a little of both; a bioterrorism accident gone wrong, perhaps already preordained and orchestrated?

Hello Gershon! Indeed, this is a profound poem. Flames of controversy fanned while a wildfire burns out of control.. Such a succinct and thought provoking piece expressing uncertainty as we deal with our sad new normal. Warmest wishes and stay safe, my dear friend.. ~Susan

Hello Susan!! Indeed! When the Olympic Flame was suspended recently, I realized that it was an omen that our flame -- LOL -- had been extinguished too... But now, your perceptive comments have ignited new hope that the flame may be revived! O, heart! Steady as she goes... :) gw
