Deadly Moron
The Pandemic at Christmas

David Sapp

Come on now
I gotta get goin’
No patience for you
Your mitigation nation
Gotta keep on livin’
Rack em stack em
Stiffs’ obituaries
Tallied higher still
High upon your curve
(Not mine oh no not mine)
Wife husband mommy daddy
Brother sister grandma grandpa
That nice man with the nice dog
Down the road you’ve past
For ten years and merely waved to
(Tzara laughs
At exquisite corpses
Absurd parlor games)
In morgues in trucks in tents
Halls parking lots swept
Under your rug no hug
No vacancy blinks brightly
All full for Potter’s Field
An abundant crop
(But not now round
Your kitchen table
Who’s missing for supper?)
I gota gotta gotta
Be a deadly moron
Won’t wear the mask
Your tiresome task
Don’t you see I’d appear
Foolish for your funeral
Gotta gotta gotta
Catch my plane
Spread my plague
Spread my love
Shop shop shop
Till you drop drop drop
There’s no next year
To do my thing
Hurry up now
Come on now
