This is a piece of blackout poetry that reads: COVID is bad, people are w-o-r-s-e (worse) don’t be sad I am h-e-r-e (here) Some emojis are added to tell a story that helps illustrate the meaning of the poem. Beneath the line "people are worse" is a masked emoji being ridiculed by other emojis, including a sneezing face emoji, a rolling on the floor laughing emoji, a smirk emoji, a queasy-looking disgust emoji, an angry emoji, and a swearing emoji. These unkind emojis are pointing their fingers at the masked emoji. Next to the word "sad" are a sad emoji and a teary-eyed emoji, showing the masked emoji's feeling. Above the word "here" are two virtual hug emojis surrounding the masked emoji, which mean the support from the covid cautious community, then an arrow which implies changing moods, then a heart emoji and a smiling face with hearts emoji surrounding the masked emoji, which mean the masked emoji is feeling better with the love and solidarity.
