Here we be yet again
Rote routine
Forced reality
Clicking on the favorite
defense mechanisms
we wrap ourselves in
to make it through
yet another endless day
with minimum pain
A safety hedge against the risk
of rotating variables unknown
Saying the same old things
to the same old faces
in this brave new virtual
ZOOM community
The spirit atrophies
in this vacuum
of social deprivation
as options dwindle
on our islands
suffocating in isolation
Time has stalled
Days now blurred
The calendar burns
Waiting for a rescue package
to bail us out of this misery
we will all look back on
and laugh at someday
