This is Not a Story Of Hope

'Tis not a story of hope/ 'Tis not a story of fear/ But harken ye this candid tale/ Of what transpired here/ In the year of twenty twenty/ In the fairest, Lincoln green/ I found a special love of/ The unsightly and unseen/ Nay, not quite an animal/ Nay, not even plant/ But decomposing both/ The fungi doth enchant/ Enraptured thus/ I took the plunge/ And threw myself/ Betwixt two suns/ One of light/ That carried me/ And one of shade/ That buried me/ So out I came/ From times so crude/ The viral curse/ My life unglued.
