The Many Blessings of Covid
I'm truly sorry for those that died.
From that cheeky little FauchXI virus...
The millions that lost jobs.
and those demonized for deflecting
the virgin big pharma prick-
I'm embarrassed to say that I thrived.
During the height of the lockdown madness.
Didn't mind wearing a diaper on my face.
I've always been a plain jane.
it's all about the eyes anyways...or so they say-
I enjoyed the unclogged commutes.
The rock star parking.
Thinner lines at the five and dime...
six feet of personal space at all times...
The downside was i caught the FaucXi virus... twice.
The first was a breeze-
I got a little cocky and careless.
The second time was much more vicious.
Lost my sense of smell and taste.
I'm quickly out of breath.
As my lungs were laid to waste!
Now, the texture and color of food are paramount.
Maskless faces appear plastic now...
Some people still mask their scars.
Fear along with jealousy and greed
are the hardest things to glean...from living.
