Going Viral

Last year, I hoped one of my poems would go viral.
Going viral used to be fun, not a prognosis.
I really can’t use that word any longer.
Now, it means what it was supposed to mean.
Sucks.
Stay home.

Author: Blind John Ellsworth

Blind John Ellsworth (1960- ), a (questionable) poet and sometimes Texas bluesman. He has recorded one spoken-word album (thankfully unreleased), since he is still trying to learn to play guitar. (Lack of musical skills is what makes him a poet and not a lyricist. Plus, he can’t write music.)
