Similarities
The chill of DayQuil down a sore throat
is the same as the coolness of alcohol
sprayed on healthy skin is the same
as putting a mint between teeth
and chewing is the same as you
when we kiss in a Covid-filled world.

The sensory imagery and unravelling lines chasing each other through one enjambment after the other simply race towards the final line and land with a powerful thud. What images, what ideas and what a stunning, terrifying conclusion. Amazing poem!
