BETWEEN BOREDOM ANGER & FEAR  SHIP’S PASSENGERS TRAVEL AT THEIR OWN PACE  SHE’S DOCKED AND LOCKED DOWN  STOCK STILL BECAUSE OF COVID-19  

FROM DIAMOND PRINCESS TO PETRI DISH AWASH WITH INFECTION   NO MORE BOTTOMLESS BUFFET OF LIVE ENTERTAINMENT  CONFINED TO CABINS THEIR MINDS INCLINED TO PLAY TRICKS      

AGAINST THE STRICT IMPOSITION OF QUARANTINE  ANGER COMES EASILY   WHEN IT’S NOT EVEN STRICT    FEAR RISES LIKE FEVER  

THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE AIR WE SHARE!  THEY VENT    

THE VESSEL’S BLOODSTREAM IS A THOUSAND CREW DELIVERING & PICKING UP FROM EVERY CABIN   SHARING SHOWERS  WITH THE SICK WITHOUT CARING  

‘WE’RE STUCK IN A BOX ALREADY CONTAMINATED’     

AS PARASITE  SWEEPS THE OSCARS  WHO’S HOOVERING THIS DECK  STANDS IN FOR THE MILLIONS MOST AT RISK FROM GLOBAL PANDEMIC 

WISHING THAT THE WORLD’S POOR WILL NOT BE POORLY PROTECTED  
YOURS TRULY
