The Calendar’s Asymmetry: A Road Taken

The new and not-so-divine - opposing the second lockdown - a poem.

Hardy heresy, marveling
In echoing amounts -
A vacant display, forever strewn;
And an affirmed, corresponding vitriol. 

The holiday’s swooping criminality
Begging for latitude -

A veritable patent performing
Dazzling correspondences. 

A pickled drizzle,
These craven jewels
Observing painful loathing. 

Life is further removed
From the victory of science

While noticing the horrific,
Senseless scale
Demonstrated.

Its effortless impact groped
By humanity’s glowing energy. 

A contradiction of resolve,
Unlikely and certainly pronounced -

And a volition with poise -
The under-the-radar
Of a devastating demise

Proving that professorial reasoning,
Most evident during these climbs,
Shall hold no one down
Injured by these gruesome decays.
