RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
May Day
The mood is jubilation
The Derby is in bloom
Thousands gather in celebration
A portent of what looms
Have we jumped the gun again?
Lowered the bar to the ground?
Have we forgotten where we’ve been?
Rising when we should stay down?
I fear the worst will follow
Declaring victory before it’s done
These celebrations will ring hollow
Raising a pennant we have not won
I dearly hope that I am wrong
But I have seen this act before
Could it be the same old song:
Dropping anchor too far from shore
Prophetic!
