Will coronavirus quickly expire us
before Donnie dear does us in?
Before rising oceans inundate coastlines,
rendering subways places you swim in?
Before an asteroid (or maybe a comet)
brings us to “Game Over! TILT!”?
Before business leaders finally fess up
after so many decades of denying guilt?
after so many decades of denying guilt?
If this is an emergency, then with some urgency
we should do something to stop it.
Which, in due course, we will try to do —
once we determine how we can profit.
