27 JAN FROM THE FAR EAST

PLAGUED BY FEAR STOCK MARKETS SICKEN & FALL   AND WHAT OF HUMAN CAPITAL?  AT ALL POINTS EAST WE’RE ALREADY MASKED UP     

NOT THAT IT’S NOH THEATRE     THE PROPS ARE PROPHYLACTIC    FACE CONDOMS  VERSUS CORONA ITS RING AROUND THE CENTRE MAKES THIS VIRUS PRETTIER          

THE MASQUERADE REVEALS OUR FEAR OF OTHERS    YOUR BREATH IS LIKE A LOCUST  HOWEVER BRIGHT  STILL A BLIGHT ON ME  POTENTIALLY    

SO STEPPING PAST THE COLLAPSED MAN IN A&E  IN WUHAN WHERE IT ALL BEGAN        

WILL WE SOON GROW MASKS ORGANICALLY   TIMOROUSLY?    A HOMER SIMPSON BEARD PERMANENTLY STUBBLING ALL OUR FACES?

BUT WE CAN ALSO BUILD A HOSPITAL IN 10 DAYS    SEE THE DIGGERS LINED UP LIKE CIGAR BOX GUITARS  AND A VACCINE ON ITS WAY   LOOK AHEAD THAT FAR AND HOPE ACCORDS WITH WHO WE ARE 

WISHING FOR A VACCINE AGAINST THE CORONA VIRUS               

YOURS TRULY
