doctors, mechanics, prostitutes
fathers, mothers, kids so cute
actors, prime ministers, booksellers
truck drivers, preachers, drug dealers
senators, musicians, and unemployed

borne of animals, spreads wherever it can find

praying for immunity and a vaccine around the clock
leaving physical, mental, and economic stress in all of us
what is the great equalizer
