The Mark Of A True Genius

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The mark of a true genius
is the uncanny ability
to predict the future
when you least expect it.

Mark Twain did it
too man times to count.
Ditto, for Scott Fitzgerald.

BUT
in the Covid-sphere of 2020
where the safest form
of electronic communication
is Zoom,
the artist who predicted it
thirty-four years ago


Who's Zoomin' Who?

If that doesn't qualify
Aretha Franklin
as a genius,
they should throw
that goddam word
out of the dictionary.

Ditto, for the birthday boy
on the previous page 

The song link is prefaced
by a quickly deleteable
advert
