Love Virus

love flicks around as it
will infecting one
killing another
crippling a third for life.

the other two thirds consider
themselves lucky but are they
slowly poisoned.

wearing masques helps
they think the usual delusions but
who is to say where and when it all
begins
which are the most sanitary practices
in the end blame can only be affixed to
dirty hands
and not keeping enough distance
usually we really don’t know
and only who can say.
