Oct 3 good news bad news
which
ding dong the witch is dead
or instead
a fraidy-cat
plays possum
messes with our heads
really really sick
or really really slick
ventilator
manipulator
smooth operator
crypto traitor
critical list
master strategist
fatal illness
Machiavellian brilliance
either way
a thrilling change
good as a getaway
from doomsday
a tiny foetid
breath
of Hope
Hicks our spirits
high
the game is skewed
all bets are off
and fingers crossed
that goodness
brains and sanity
prevail
before the world
abseils
into the
abyss.
