in many ways many
of us are
compromised
itemized labeled
priced bought
and sold
or
waiting in line to be.
the only escape hatch
is inside of us
do not let anyone
or en-ti-ty buy you
and do not sell yourself
take yourself off the shelf
quarantine the virus
tune in to your
humanity and
spirituality
tune out the
survival of the fittest
mentality of the
dog eat dog world.
