RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
Outliers
Among the outliers are poets and artists
Those who go against the tide
Diviners of original constructs
For whom the common cannot abide
We take the artist for a lover
We take another for our bride
For when it comes to our survival
Cold calculus must decide
There’s nothing wrong with being different
The ones who choose to not belong
The ones who hear a different beat
The ones who sing a different song
But when it comes to life and death
We had better not be wrong
For the doctor and the artist
In this world there is a place
The one sustains the human spirit
The other saves the human race
