Yesterday’s Statistics

x

Only a few hundred died

From COVID yesterday

Only a few hundred

We must be getting better

And maybe we are

Except for the families

Friends and neighbors

Of a few hundred people

Who died from COVID

Yesterday

x

But who’s counting

The CDC is counting

WHO is counting

Sometimes it’s on the news

But even news programs

Want for ratings

Vie for them

x

One more day to help;

Live as if

x

As If

x

As if tomorrow is a question mark,

Which it is

As if love is uncertain

And life the mystery

With or without a number

As always
