Covid Ovid
Kentucky’s
positivity
rate is down –
positive news!
No positivity will
be infinitely positive!
This must be
metaphysical.
Everything
must be nothing.
Dr. Fauci
must be Buddha.
Darling, I love you –
even intubated
upside down or
inside out
our love escapes
the grip of tragedy

Love all the word play with the word positive! And Dr. Fauci as Buddha! You do know how to toss in surprises in your poetry!!
Fun piece. Definitely fun.
Love Covid Ovid and Fauci as Buddha! And you know how to circle around and bring it back home!
This is lovely, Mike.
Smart and sweet! Love Dr. Fauci as Buddha!
Thought you might like to know that when hospitalized with Covid the only reading I could manage was the haiku you so willingly shared on Instantgram or facebook, I forget which. thank you for all those lines that helped me hold on to what was such a slender thread.
