Steven Schroeder | like wars,
pandemics end
when people begin
to step over the bodies
and get back to business, as usual,
when people stop
counting, and the disease
comes to be just one more note
in the drone of commerce.
what is essential is not
the worker but the drone.
as for the disease,
make nothing of it.
everybody knows nothing
matters more than
we can possibly imagine.
