​Scattered, as confetti,
a handful of color
spreads touching
humans.  Corona
cares little about
climate, country,
technology.
Difficult to sweep
away, as are bits
of paper dropped
at parades, we
wanted to believe
most would have
been gone in 2020,
or 2021. Another
calendar year.
Perhaps 2022
might vacuum
Covid’s last strain?
