MILK the dog and walk the cow.
I’ll bet you twenty-five cents.
A courtly old demon, kind to all.
Armadillo writing a check.
Checkbook has a space pen
Whose cap has an excellent dent.
Ibex took the pen cap, but he
Never said please and thank you.
Skunks got under the vault,
But it doesn’t smell that bad.
The wheel of a ship on the door of the vault
Is twice the weight of God.
Darling starling, clicking away
Like the sound of a ceiling fan. Turn
The wheel on the door of the vault,
Ya passive-aggressive pigeon.
Ya Wikipedia William. Yeah,
Bring it, I ain’t scared.
In fact, I’m looking forward,
’Cuz you my buzzard, my BFF.
While we have you...
...we need your help. Confronting the many challenges of COVID-19—from the medical to the economic, the social to the political—demands all the moral and deliberative clarity we can muster. In Thinking in a Pandemic, we’ve organized the latest arguments from doctors and epidemiologists, philosophers and economists, legal scholars and historians, activists and citizens, as they think not just through this moment but beyond it. While much remains uncertain, Boston Review’s responsibility to public reason is sure. That’s why you’ll never see a paywall or ads. It also means that we rely on you, our readers, for support.
