Each second we live
Brings us a second closer
To when we will die

COVIDTRY Poem 08 (What Sound does an Outbreak Make?)
One night in May, 2020
A boy in his doggy
In Saskatchewan, Canada
Had a little chatty
Hey, doggy!
––Yeah, boy.
What sound does a snake make?
––Why, hisssss, of course!
––––The dog said menacingly.
And what sound does a quake make?
––Why rrrrrumble, of course!
––––The dog said unsteadily.
And what sound does an outbreak make?
––Why, um, ask the horse!
––––The dog said quite mockingly.
What sound does an outbreak make?
Why, it’s… BOOOM!
Bahahahahaha!
––––Laughed the boy heartily –
––––Watching his startled dog run away –
––––For days and more days –
––––As you only can –
––––In flat Saskatchewan

I thought I smelled skunk –
Then I realized –
It was strong marijuana

Between your first wind –
And your second wind
