Cornered

“Things get very clear when you’re cornered.”

Chogym Trungpa

The truth has us cornered.

Virus: ploy of the Left?

Ploy upon ploy upon ploy?

Cornered in our houses.

Cornered behind masks.

Sheepled into stupor

broken by the truth.

Our very lives are threatened now.

We start to forget business as usual. 

Will our children go back to school?

Can I ever watch a baseball game?

Do I dare to eat a peach?

The overwhelming question

has been dropped on our plate.

Cornered in Tepoztlan,

(I hope the bank machine works),

a good place to die.
