Wave Goodbye

For more than two years, we’ve been riding 
a tsunami, now surfing the sixth viral wave
and we’ve all become amateur epidemiologists.
Hooray for MRNA, but variants keep emerging
and we’re all getting tired of the Greek alphabet.

Me, I’m vaxxed to the max, still masked
and was negative in my last test, which
is positive I guess, and though I don’t 
understand them, I have a bit of respect 
for the antis and that flat earth leaning
basketball player, who if the Raptors get 
that far, won’t be playing against them 
in our home playoff games.

No man is an island, but with covid and
climate change, it sure feels that way 
and zoom just ain't the real thing.
And with the sea rising, I feel that 
I might go under, when comes
the seventh wave.
