in
the Age
of
Corona Virus

it
was
Henry Ford
who said

history is bunk

and
maybe it is
and maybe
it is’t

Everyday journalists
who cover
everyday stories

don’t like history
to be wrapped up
in raw fish or even
fish and chips

in yesterday’s
newspaper

as
journalists
have been known
to dress up
in gowns
of respectability

with
vested interest
always lurking
in the shadows

today
a different
problem
have we

with
media and
fake news

and every
smart man
and every
smart woman

a journalist
and also
a photo
journalist

the
reader
and goalkeeper
know
the difference

always
keep your eye
on the ball

What does Joao want to say?
