Abstract Life
An impersonal elegy [song of mourning]
Today’s rules are subject to revision
Yesterday’s are meaningless tools
Forget what you heard, envision
None of this is true, not all of us are fools
“Amid worsening pandemic, Trump pushes to re-open U.S. for business by Easter…”- Rueters
The life we lost, buried under red tape
Is it gone forevermore
Will we ever inhale, escape
Breathe out, find a cure
“I love my dog #Gambino Best quarantine buddy ever!” — Douglas Karr, on Twitter
A weary blue planet these days
Too many places and spaces on hold
Empty shelves, no means or ways
Relentless shutter, derelict and cold
“We are close to a bill that takes our bold Republican framework, integrates further ideas from both parties and delivers huge progress." — Mitch McConnell
“… despite the stores being closed, Trader Joe’s™ will still be paying all of their crew members for their scheduled shifts.” — SheKnows, Yahoo
