Oh, dread poet of despair, cast me to the river Styx so that I may meet my lover.

One by one, two by two, we walk this land infecting one another.

“Plague is a state of mind!”, said the abstraction,

but I am not so cynical; though, my life never mattered.

Didn’t you know that we’ve been wearing masks for years?
