Stuck At Home
May 25, 2021
Isolation discloses
In the quiet house; exposes
The problems outside
That can’t run and hide
News reports of a virus spreading
Gives me fear of what’s heading
Reports of death, infection
Warnings for washing hands; sections
Regarding safety and health
Stores are being ridden from their wealth
Stranded with remnants such as toilet paper
Dissipating as fast as vapor
Grayness blocks the sky and atmosphere
I remain as still as them; my phone clutched near.
My phone
Awaiting for the news and virus to roam
And disappear permanently
