Coronated Virus, 1
Why is it not able to stay away?
Why does it creep around here, day by day,
among the lines that it claims to despise?
The answer, I think (this is a surmise)
is that it likes to gaze, with jealous eyes,
on patterns that it never has achieved;
and thus, its deficit can be relieved---
a temporary fix, obtained in guile,
but only lasts a very little while.
And then, this trite pest, leaves its migh-have-been,
to start the whole procedure once again.
