The two-headed god’s left face darkened,
Remorseless Randomness smashed the
Delicate satellite Co-Vid-Aid with a lightning-surge
The inter-planetary architects watched in horror.
Carefully situated between the Red Planet and the Blue,
The CVA, a refuge for all citizens who
Cared less if red or blue gravitation held advantage
Than whether, when, and how
That refuge would harbor
The sick and hungry.
Two- headed Janus,
Momentarily panicked:
The future, generous and bi-partisan,
Threatened by Quantum Random,
Whose dark whim, scorning consequences,
Sent the CVD satellite staggering in delicate orbit
Fazed by the disinforming strobe of
Quantum, the Awful, who clouded
The disremembered past.
Signs of hope for a future coalition
In teetering equilibrium?
Stars of delicate constellations?
Or random shockwaves shoving
Compromise from orbit?
No hopeful vision from a blistered past, unless
The stimulated, amalgamated, vaccinated,
Bi-partisan boomering, XYZ-generations,
Denizens of Earth future.
Recovering vision,
Janus took her cue
Forward, faintly
smirking.
