Or, the “if” at the center of “life” and the “ph” at the end of “morph”
No “go”s on life

this pandemic

If we’re going

sight, call, or text.
NOTE: The coronavirus is its own fraternity. All of its brothers are named Spike Protein. Every residence is part of its own Greek Row. The panhellenic theme is rampant across all humanity right now. The word variant might have been an adjective before it was a noun. Everyone is being hazed, sometimes more than once, and sometimes without any consequences.
