Sunday Paper at the Covid Cafe`

a poem about fact checking

Holocaust survivor is history,
living. Pandemic denier
is not yet a future.

Ivory tower epitaph.
Empty pedestals toppled
mark the miles.

Super Spreader, the new comic
book. Illiterari scoff up
blood.

Newspapers are horror
novels. The facts black,
the omissions white.
