Disappointment awakens
chill shudders demand heat as
dreary dawn haunts windows
and lockdown blues hang heavy in the air.
Today, just another yesterday
as was yesterday itself
blurred into non-descript coping
as boredom radio broadcasts
unrelenting bad news forecasts.
Consciousness
desires coffee.
Aching limbs
find the kitchen
and day has begun.
May-day, m\'aider.
Gamble the risk
of a groceries run?
But to mask or
not to mask
dumbest of
questions.
World news radio
vends banks of
self preservation
where economics
become a murky pool
to cross when
tomorrow brings
yet another land
\'fit for heroes\' as we,
should we survive,
are encouraged
to believe we
have already become.
