@danalevinpoet Covid-19 Blues

I'm standing
six feet away
from you.
The air between
us is thick
with pathogens.
And yet, I reach out
to draw you
close. Death
be damned.

@DemetriusRasbe4 How old is the kid asking for $? If he’s under 21, don’t sweat it! If he’s 22-30—or more—don’t give it to him!! There’s PLENTY of jobs out there, but if he’s too proud to work as a cashier, he needs to learn some humility—the hard way. Giving him cash is just enabling him!

@wsmTrumpet354 @AdamBaldwin That’s bullshit. Nobody who doesn’t actually die of Covid—and we’re up to 700,000 deaths in the US alone—is listed as a Covid death. Period. Your motorcycle story is fake news.

@SteveSherokey @beachboyslegacy Why did Marks leave, then?

[Mark W. Helm @ProfHelm]

@liamgallagher Well, unlike Keith Moon, you are no longer a rock star. Just a wealthy fool because your older brother wrote great songs. Keep it up! Next time you won’t be so lucky.

Mr. Biden, you just ended one endless war, only to find yourself in a 2nd endless war — a war that has already killed 675,000 Americans. The Covid War. Yesterday u said you’re ending that one too. Mandatory vaccinations! YES! The unvaccinated are killing us. BRAVO, Mr. President!

Joy Reid on fire tonight! Every issue, every panel, amazingly important. Perfect explanations. Maybe it will exist on you tube. Still a third left. MSNBC.

[🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦🕉Stevie Van Zandt☮️💙 @StevieVanZandt]

Everybody hear this? We are suggesting record Joy Reid tonight. The show really explained what’s going on. On several fronts.

[Mark W. Helm @ProfHelm]

@StevieVanZandt She was GENIUS!!! Spread her words on THE ABSOLUTE WORST far and wide. Republicans ARE NOT the party of life. They’re the party of DEATH!!!

[Mark W. Helm @ProfHelm]

@StevieVanZandt My son was the same way! Get him that bass!!

Progress. Stills was the massive talent in that band musically. Neil was the best songwriter.

[David Crosby @thedavidcrosby]

Saw Stills yesterday …we both showed for Mike Finnigan’s memorial …..hugged him …felt good …I understand Neil and I feel kind of sorry for Graham but I still love Stills ….he changed my life …played so well …swung so hard …wrote so strong

@StevieVanZandt Ignore the idiots. Your energy is better served making you art❤️

[Mark W. Helm @ProfHelm]

@StevieVanZandt You see Crosby’s tweet? He saw Stills and they hugged. Good news!

@mamarocks54 @WFarbaugh @thedavidcrosby Scorpio? You’re a fucking moron if you think birthdays and star signs have anything to do with anything. You might as well believe in Jesus 🤣
