Title (Dublin Core)
The microscopic tick
Description (Dublin Core)
A mask is like a microscopic tick
We can't see it, but we can feel it, ick
As I peel
(the microscopic tick) off my face
I'm repulsed
I declare an appeal, “senit!”
the microscopic tick
has succeeded in form of fear
It's won the battle
Yet Covid is still here
As I look on the ground (all around)
the microscopic ticks
are swarming in the air
the dirty masks lay there…
Breathless, weightless, thoughtless, penniless
with an unconscious stare
microscopic tick!
We can't see it, but we can feel it, ick
As I peel
(the microscopic tick) off my face
I'm repulsed
I declare an appeal, “senit!”
the microscopic tick
has succeeded in form of fear
It's won the battle
Yet Covid is still here
As I look on the ground (all around)
the microscopic ticks
are swarming in the air
the dirty masks lay there…
Breathless, weightless, thoughtless, penniless
with an unconscious stare
microscopic tick!
