QUARANTINE LIFE: THURSDAY THOUGHTS







With each passing day

Life has a way

Of showing us all what's what

Curtains drawn, covers lifted

Perspectives have shifted

Some soar; others stuck in a rut


The truth of the matter 

Is that folks were never

The stars in the stories they’d tell

When push came to shoving

Reality set in

Now everything’s clear as a bell


Some words we use loosely

Sometimes, the stuff you see

Is simply a lovely facade

But up close, it’s easy 

To discern things more clearly

That, perhaps, have always seemed odd


It stands to reason 

In this bizarre season

That much will be tested and tried

That what happened before

May not work anymore

And all pretense will be laid aside

That the yes's once said

Will be firm no's instead

And new boundaries will find their way

Into places once breached

That are now out of reach

And will remain so, every day
