the rampant infection of COVID-19 <\/span><\/p>\n

by keeping our distance. Imagine the scene <\/span><\/p>\n

with cow parsley frothing all over the verge, <\/span><\/p>\n

unruly sycamores struggling to merge <\/span><\/p>\n

and valerian threatening to grab passers by <\/span><\/p>\n

as it lunges from walls, while above us up high <\/span><\/p>\n

in the swaying horse chestnut the candles are lit <\/span><\/p>\n

but closer together than orders permit. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our health, our economy \u2013 all is confusion! <\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome to springtime\u2019s subversive profusion. <\/span><\/p>\n
