“IT’S ALIVE! IT’S ALIVE!”
Though it's but a virus
and can’t reproduce on its own.
It’s like a meme,
although it has genes
which turn you into its home,
commandeering your body
in order to breed
and though it may harm you
it pays you no heed —
as we’ve done to Earth,
with a great deal less fuss.
Turns out corona is just like us.
