PASTEURIZED: “The Pasture” by Robert Frost, Revised.

I’m going out to score a pack of masks;
I’ll only stop to sanitize my hands
(And steer far clear of anyone who stands
Nearby); Hey you! Step Back! Stay Away!

I’m going out to teach the little calves
that cling to mother: “You’re so young
now hide your face, restrict your lungs
Or else.” Hey you! Step Back! Stay Away!
