Though it's obsolete before it recedes

You arent yet in the habit of smiling
For Toc
The smiles are genuine
And you are in the pursuit of ________
I will wait

Let’s build a fort, you say.

I look up from my book and say,
The back of the couch is too weak.

You look at the couch then stand up.
You give the stretched upholstery a press,

Feel the lumber under the big pillows.
You run your fingers into the creases,

Unearth a pencil and match box car.
You take your time, run your fingers on its spine.

You examine like a performance while I try to read.
Then you stand behind of me, cross your arms.

You stand behind of me and I don’t look up.
You say, ahem. Then speak:

You have too much plans if you think you know
how the sofa fits in.
How do you know how a thing will be 
Before building the fort?

I shade my face between my bangs and the book.
You squat beside me and I don’t look at you.

If the couch is too weak, you continue,
Then you haven’t arrived at the right fort yet.

You’re not reading, you say.
Your eyes are still.

I put my book down and
Accidentally hit your toe, hard.

You say Yow! and,
What was that for?

It was a mistake. Besides,
If you hadn’t been bugging me!
​
So you quit. You build a fort without me.

People near or at retiring

II. Fever and Dry Cough
A League of Legends chat room message read
The only good thing about COVID-19 is
All the antivaksers will die.

That joke, like some, is untrue.

When a vaccine might be viable,
In eighteen months at least,

Death depends on whether COVID is seasonal
--Like Influenza A or B--
Or/and if a vaccine can eradicate the ailment
--As Polio in all but mountainous Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria--

Take the flu: not all antivaksers die.
They push death onto the at-risk humans
By not conferring more effective herd immunity.

Take polio: only those unreached
Encased in decades of war and siege
Remain afflicted, globally.

Numbers can be scary
And we are experts at numbers, lately.

a fruitful opportunity
to rediscover 'dominant'

my hands typed too fast for my head anyway
now curation must happen like Mssr Bauby

drawing is about looking and seeing
or so i thought since mastering marking

the art is about the line again
interesting and satisfying

impressing myself is frankly fun
and humbling -- ill snowboard again

meanwhile
here's to my left hand!
