We Are Infected

BIG NEWS from the White House!  RFK Jr.'s new film "Malaria" opens in theaters across the country tomorrow!

When I heard about this dysTrumpian tour de farce, I could not help but think of Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "A Film dropped careless from a Fool," below on the left.  Dickinson's poem inspired his third cousin Emily to pen her poem "A Word dropped careless on a Page," below on the right. 

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:

A Film dropped careless from a Fool
May stimulate your eye
When folded in perpetual stream
Of just another lie

Infection in the movement breeds
As we inhale Despair
We must work to protect ourselves
From the Malaria –

By Emily Dickinson:

A Word dropped careless on a Page
May stimulate an eye
When folded in perpetual seam
The Wrinkled Maker lie

Infection in the sentence breeds
We may inhale Despair
At distances of Centuries
From the Malaria –
