A Million Now
x
Two and a half years
A million dead
Shall we count?
We should have time
While counting out the days
For boosters
Should we be privileged
For boosters
x
If they were like stars
Then there would be no question
Everyone would want them
Like the bread
That goes with circuses
Is New York still giving money
For a shot?

People I know are gone
Because of COVID
It’s hard to take in
I might be dense
How could I know a million
Twenty times a number counted
For the city some miles away
Whose rutted streets
For the moment
Have no wagons for the dead
Or another absurdity in
A Python moment
x
Try to count
To a million
Try to consider millions of
The dead or fleeing
Thanks to war
Go ahead, combine the numbers
Since the same hate’s
At work
Every time
x
There is liberty
In abnegation
Deny the medicine
Turn oneself into
The other side of counting
