locked down without air
sleep arrested
to the staccato tic.tac of statistic
choked on virus hold

lugging flood-washed debris | a cargo of deadwood and spilth
slopped out foam | of dis-care

lugging flood-washed debris | a cargo of deadwood and spilth

no viral boundaries | this skin
this tin can | leaks like a sieve.
