Covid-19 Lockdown


gunshops and liquor stores
     essential services
     can't live without 'em
hair shops and nail salons
     doors barred
frantic customers
distraught over their nails and weaves
can't work; have no rest
which other businesses, they ask
do so much good
so little harm
keep the economy humming

it's enough to drive them to drink

scrubbing ichor
from the floor each night
natives can't handle drink
