The Daily Report (#9)

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



The Daily Report (#9)

They stroll to the cameras daily
Touching their solemn faces
Standing within the danger zone
No masks no gloves no cares

What do they know that we do not know?
Is the invisible menace reserved for
those on this side of the lenses?

Their words become a drone
We can no longer hear them
Cannot decipher the code

Is this a new symptom?
Are we suffering from failure to heed
warnings we can no longer hear?

The man in the orange mask
tells us it’s over

Number nine number nine

The man with an itch
tells us it’s not

Number nine number nine

Who should we believe?
Who lives and who dies?

Number nine number nine
