Silent Poet

Prompt: Introductions for the Apocalypse, by friend, A


I am a silent poet.
For the apocalypse does not concern me.

The spread of Covid-19?
Just wear a mask, shop online, stay unseen.
Our economic collapse?
Wealth is a construct, numbers on an app.
Social Inequality?
Am I not a model minority?

I am a silent poet,
Only because you cannot hear me scream.
