b-t-c on April 1st

Bluffo the clown has this day

but he’s more than an April fool

attacking the daughter of the judge actively presiding over the case

where he’s accused of criminal behavior

although attack has always been

both offense and defense for him

perhaps not understanding that others

have power to attack as well

if that judge is constrained by duty

to neutrality, not everyone else may be

                                       —poor Bluffo

blame un-game

wrestling with pique over restrictions

and weariness of exile

mumbling, fretting, whining among ourselves

deciding we are put upon and liking victimhood

we attack

but who - in a pandemic - deserves to be blamed?
