“An Eruption of Cases” (Version Two)

by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán

An eruption of cases
in recent days dense populations
fearing pandemic outbreaks
intimating “batty” blame

within months and months of strain
disclaiming making big mistakes
global microbes left uncontained

coping strategies harkening back
to “Dick, Jane & Sally” as practicality
becomes radical gaining in popularity

markedly hesitating
between writing and painting
vainly attempting to make the grade

brightly draped in orange and grape
being chased down as personal favorites
still lacking in explanation
loudly proclaiming, “Let them eat cake!!!”...
