Genius, unmasked

I cracked the COVID quandary without even trying. 

There I was, mid-Tuesday hustle,
crushing it, natch,
when it hit me.

What if we put a mask around the entire planet?

Man, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so stupid as I sat there realizing it took me almost two months of quarantine to come to this painfully obvious realization.

But I didn’t let that bring me down.
I sucked it up and got right to work,
slacking Elon to let him know he should start transitioning
his underground network of tunnels in LA
into a a giant earth-sized mask assembly line.
He was tripping balls on Ayahuasca when he read my note,
but that didn’t stop him from hitting me back
with a virtual fist bump and several 100 emojis.

Even though I alone came up with this idea,
I want you all to know how important you’ve been to my process.
Each of you, with your fun posts and daily witticisms
have been a powerful source of inspiration.
My collective muse, if you will,
allowing my genius to percolate in the background,
while I tackled other critical projects each day.

Coming up with a world-saving idea is the very definition of a game changer.
And I’m grateful to have you all on my team.

Do you have any examples of how you saved
8+ billion people from almost certain death?
