COVID-19 IN THE MIDST OF IT

Indoors we sit

And try to make sense of it

We go out for walks

And make do with telephone talks

 

We try not to see others as a foe

They could be a carrier, though

And so we keep safe distance

Whenever others are in our presence

 

We wait it all out in isolation

While this crisis saps our motivation

I try to read, write, and be productive

But make little progress in my efforts to be active

Day melts into day in mindless stupefaction
