My Jandek Plague Journal: 6/19/20 "Friday Morning"

"Bare your body to the death/You find as you traverse/The lonely fields/You find yourselves walking through." The news is reporting a Korean man broke quarantine six times, and these aren't instances of getting caught buying milk at the corner store. He went to Seoul, Busan, and other places in the country demonstrating that selfish and stupid are not held exclusively by the people of any one country. Looking at the US numbers, even with under-reporting, the death toll is higher than projected. This isn't slowing down. Meanwhile, a friend from the States got back in touch after a while. They're in one of the states that's becoming a new epicenter and were complaining about people not wearing masks. Then they said they were traveling to the West Coast next weekend and Mexico next month, just to get away. None of us is immune to poor choices. -6/19/20.
