I let the iPad pick the title; aftermath seemed appropriate. I feel really bad tonight, or rather this morning now since it’s exactly 2:48 a.m. Sunday. We even attended Mass in Mt. Vernon last evening; at the end of the service, as I stood before the priest to receive the Eucharist, he had to remind me to pull down my mask. Mass confusion? I forgot I was wearing it. That’s the first time we have been to church in 5 months.
Covid-19
Masked and dangerous are we all;
Bearers of an antique fall:
Adam, Eve, Abel, Cain,
Their legacy, a vast domain
Of suffering, and acid rain.
And just for fun, I started rewatching the second and third episodes of Good Omens, with the angel Aziraphel (Michael Sheen), the demon Crowley (David Tennant), and the good witch Anathema Device (Adria Arjona). Tonight I watched Episode 1, then 4, 5, and 6, though I may have fallen asleep during 4 — 5. Well, I had spent most of the afternoon vacuuming the house.
Hail Caesar
Caesar rules our secular land
With a tiny evil hand;
He thinks no one will hear the cries
Of all those harmed by stupid lies.
He wears a mask of just concern,
While urging all the land to burn.
Conflagration is his goal;
For endless reign he’s sold his soul.
I thought I would polish these verses and publish them before I came down with the virus and lost the battle. I really like “Covid-19,” the first verse; ha! “and acid rain”! Delightful. Actually, I like the second one too, “Hail Caesar.”
Michael Sheen and David Tennant from “Good Omens.”
Adria Arjona from “Good Omens”; she’s Anathema!
