DEAR GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA

a Double Dactyl
by Susan Vespoli






Clusterfuck, muster pluck.
Wake up, Doug Ducey,
COVID is killing us,
viralling doom.

Listen to doctors; don't
unjustifiably
sacrifice kids and staff
back in classrooms.


Susan Vespoli writes from Arizona, the COVID hotspot where our governor shrugs. She's had work published in spots such as TheNewVerse.News, Rattle, Nasty Women Poets, and Nailed Magazine.
