Pre Pandemic

Listen to poem:

Confined for two months but not complaining in fact I count my blessings I try to think back to pre pandemic life I draw a blank Life seeming surreal the reality of then and now does not compute The future’s an unknown still hovering somewhere between shock and denial Like everyone I wish somehow we could turn back to pre pandemic life Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~COVID 2020~ 2020 AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on May 9, 2020

well written, could we have dreamed back in 1963 something like this could ever happen? no way, bring back the innocence

It's a weird time Line, very confusing, sadly the world we knew has gone. We're still in lockdown here in the UK. We should know today what the path is for easing the lockdown, hope you're well. Tom. P. S. Have you heard from Timothy, haven't seen him for a while
