Omicron Jam

[saw]

this omicron is serious
a rush on the hospitals
i think I'll just stay home
for a couple years

[judih]

oh my cron
ohm micron
o mic ron

[saw]

ohoh-mama-cron
creeps like poison ivy up the stairs
close- the-door- quickly

[judih]

between the slivers
through the eaves
magnetic approach

espresso through masks
vision through closed eyelids
long sleeved underwear

[stilltrucking]

takes my mind off more worrisome things like the nationall debt and inflation and the desecration of tried true american values

true blue and read
Omi Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow calm

[saw]

omicronby
is the new delta ray model
is the a souped up version of covid 19
that passe virus or yore
that killed millions and decided to
keep reinventing itself
nasty bastard that he is ala jekyll
gone over to Hydesville
for a midnight snack in the hospital
such a gruesome topic to jam about
but we never stick our heads in the sand

'round these parts

we respect the vagrant in our own way
make fun of him....as if.... he will get us to cry
no siree.....me no cry......me defiant
got a box full of masks and disinfectant
life goes on......and on and on and on and on
die you fucker
get outta town
i know you'd like us to just roll over and croak
ain't gonna happen
no sir....

Not 'round these parts

[sasha]

the wolf is hungry
and from his blind
he watches the herd
for The One -
the one less agile
the one less alert
the one less likely to bolt
when he springs out from hiding
the one unmasked
the one unvaxxed
the one who gets his science from Faux News...
oh, that one will make an easy meal
while we sheeple
meekly masked, vaxxed, & boosted
get to face another day...
so tell me again, Fucker Carlson:
who's the idiot?

[judih]

who's the idiot?
good game.
where's the idiot?
harder level.
are we all not fools,
thinking we can outsmart a brilliant virus?
think again friends and balkers
we, who wear masks, get shots, wash hands
we share air, water, hopes with all who hope to survive
who here is exempt from breathing?
who needn't hydrate?
we share resources, we share fates

[saw]

einstein was right
there is no limit to stupidity
but we have survived many crises
to get this far
small pox, polio, the black death
for god sake and so much more
I wonder how morons of today compare
with morons of the past
were there just as many naysaying anti- science
humans walking the earth, percentage-wise
in days of yore. I don't know
i haven't researched this, but
my mind wonders about the undying spirit
and the power of a few.....and the power of love
I just don't know.....the new normal for me
is that any gathering where a few of us will be in the same room
I require at the very least, everyone get tested first
that's not foolproof.... but is a good idea
if someone refuses, and barks and complains
I don't need to see them
I worry about isolation......I check in with friends that live alone
stay strong my friends, we will beat this MF

[judih]

the human race
steadfastly foolish
yet here we are!

[saw]

I walk alone a lot
it's the safest thing to do
but at times we mask up for a stroll
but my god damned hearing takes a big hit
when I can't read lips
so sometimes we walk together in silence

I know you are there
and
you know I am there
and
we are together in energy and love
friends, loved ones
together
just as always
we are one in spirit

so fuck you omicron

[saw]

morning sky signals hope
as always...the promise of a new day
that will heal the world
in a myriad of ways
the virus, the poverty, the hunger
each day we have a new chance
but the uber rich are gaining
a stranglehold on the old fight
of rebellion, where are the unions
where are the people in the street...
getting weaker it seems with illness
and apathy
Arise masses...take back what is yours

[judih]

dissolve social media madness
the printed word can be deleted
humanity gathers under a pale blue sky

[saw]

build frames so some artwork
as it snowed for the third time
i usually work outdoors under covered porch
have a table for all the projects that arise
but freezing temps and blowing snow
gave me and idea, I laid a piece of plywood
across the tops of the washer and dryer
and threw a tarp on the floor, and set up
my miter saw on the piece of plywood,
I already had good light from a washroom project
two years ago and I could also hang a droplight
from the clothes lines above, and it worked great
I cranked up my portable heater, and got to work
never once thought about omicron, just immersed
myself in wood and screws and brackets and bits

[Doreen Peri]

Hahahaha…. saw you got me laughing so much no omicron can get me!!
