My Jandek Plague Journal: 4/9/20 "Lonesome Company"

"I ain’t got no home/When I leave some place, I’m gone/Come back another time/To read the wanted sign." Sometimes I don't know what to say. Sanders dropped out of the race yesterday so now Biden is facing off against the President in November. Tomorrow, the federal government is going to stop financing coronavirus testing. The existing testing centers, which were too few, will either shut down or switch to state funding. Because there's still no national plan because it's not a national problem. The administration lashed out after reporters asked about using the federal stockpile of medical equipment, describing it as "ours, not the states'." Again, the shrinking conditions of who is a citizen. To die to coronavirus is to make the party look bad, so your death marks you as disloyal and unworthy of aid. It's their government and their supplies, not yours. And Sanders dropped out after the second date of primaries in the pandemic. He said stay home. Biden said, "die for me." And now we fall in line. -4/9/20. "Lonesome Company" from The Rocks Crumble (lyrics) (one week earlier) (one week later)
