Short Term Relief

I was relieved when I read
in the broadsheet press
'Covid destroys tourism',
the story may not be new;
tourism has always destroyed
much more than it ever built up
and there had to be an exit from that,
somehow. But I had felt hard pressed
to find the upsides to what,
generally, is a bad situation.

Bad as it is,
the virus is more honest
than what it has destroyed.
