It’s not just
that pizza-chowing ally
of the can-I-inject some
now sulking buffoon
masks don’t work
declares a local
him buying fish
to do the traditional
perchance he is
a medical doctor
a scientist
of some sort
Now everyone is a scientist
just as everyone
was a freedom fighter
here there and everywhere
(as you well know
no-one supported apartheid
is a HIV-Aids or climate denialist
collaborated with or supported
Nazism or Fascism)
Now everyone is a scientist
my attempt at “buying local”
thwarted by some locals
a day before the country
enacts its ritual of Heritage Day
(Note – The Trump man from that footballing mad country nearby ate out with his entourage, down United Nations-way. Indoor dining for the unvaccinated is banned in N Y City).
