isolation eases
bringing new cases,
new infections
new problems
but that's okay,
says the PM, the President,
the racist fucker who walks his dog
past our house.
"Masks are for faggots,"
says Jair Bolsenaro, the day before
he's tested positive for Covid-19
and honestly,
I hope he suffers
and learns to be better.
In the garden the buddleias are flowering
searching for butterflies in the rain
while another transwoman is murdered
and the police admit racial bias
and Brits flock to European destinations
that would rather they stay home
but need the tourism euros.
