Stranger Than
Like a displaced deer
down the middle
Of as residential street
Of industrialized city
At late morning
In a pandemic-
…Unusual.
That is to say
It was less mind-bending
Than the politicos
Telling their constituents
That science was merely
A suggestion
I read this and I hear a distinct voice! The innocent deer, the politicians and the word science all give way to painting an image with impact! Well done!
