It has happened before
And like most things
It will happen again
To teach
Test our reach
To broaden
Horizons breached
To crash the boat
And sink to float
To defy convention
Through reflection
In our collective self-isolation
It echoes memories of things past
Haunting
Chilling
Much more so than the last
Because science knows not empathy
Just facts and good old reality
Just acts on the action
Of the man who now questions his salvation
