Random Thoughts on the Pandemic 2020
What kind of crazy dance is this while going for a walk
Crossing back and forth we go
Because we must not talk
We give a friendly wave then turn around the block
Remember when a porch chat was sitting close for hours
Now we’re at a distance discussing things like flour
Only seeing family, on FaceTime Skype or Zoom
When what we really want is to be in that same room
Masks on we wander, up and down the isles
Making people look the same and hiding all our smiles
So use your eyes to smile for as the saying goes
Our eyes really are the window to our souls
