Patient Zero
who are you?
where are you?
and how did you
catch the monster?
Did you
catch it from a bat?
a civet cat?
from a lab? A scab?
from barbecued rats at a wet market?
PERHAPS A PANDA OR A PANGOLIN?
Do you know?
that YOU are
the ultimate super-spreader
did you know?
that it was from your breath
your blood
your touch
your spit
that ALL THIS
is history
ALL THIS...
TELL US
let the record show...
WHAT DID YOU KNOW
AND WHEN DID YOU KNOW IT?
TELL ME
... DID YOU SEE?
the grim reaper on a respirator!?
DID YOU KNOW?
do you know?
ARE YOU ALIVE?
did you die?
are you in a Chinese jail?
chained to a wall?
or in the cotton fields
with Uighurs in chains
or toiling in Tibet...
or dead as the Falun Gong,
or dead as Hong Kong...
or are you in a padded room
GOING INSANE
Or are you in heaven with Doctor Li?
or crawling in a cave, in Yunnan
or are you wearing pants?
Are you in France?
