Panetymologia

We, these words, the words you use, who
You know, the languages you understand

Have bigger bugs and bogeys than just one
Crisis panic epidemic—when you’re done

Counting your newly dead and assessing
Your economic damage, we’re not done,

And you’re not done until we’re done, or
We’re not done until you’re not—we’re not

Exactly sure which one. None of us is done,
Let’s say, until all the human saying’s done.

Meanwhile, this goes on. Not for everyone,
But for some of us, us changing someones.
