Mount Olive, Part II

Mount Olive, Part II

Now that Covid has hit, the sign has changed.

No longer hiring sales professionals.

In need of groundskeepers. To rake the grass,

to dig the holes, to lay the bodies down.

To hold the hearts of families and people

forgotten, plastic flowers covering,

littering, marking their lonely, unkempt graves.
