Poem

learned nothing from the past
by faces drawn in a smile
we're spinning over it like on a carousel
and again, each time it makes us vomit, we remain stunned

we're leisurely starting to resemble like hamsters
cramming into our gob more than we can handle
ignoring reality frantically spinning in that wheel
now

the stores are closed 
playgrounds are enclosed
how little did we appreciate small things

by social distance 
desolate supermarket shelves
and respirators reserved for the younger ones
they have put a price tags on seniors' heads
(thank you for your service)

it is defeating that online shopping holds lessons from morality
(thank you amazon and eBay)

it is defeating that without us our home is healing, rebuilding
(I'm sorry mother for I have sinned)

order to keep our social distance at 2m
revealed all the distances in our personal spaces
(the dead are always giving the lecture to the living ones:
regret is a measure of life)

we will survive medically
but socially
we all live our choices

putting on a mask as an escape from death
made us envisage
that piece of fabric is a metaphor 

for words left unspoken
for words that shouldn't have been spoken
for smiles which didn't have the weight
for smiles hidden from aerosol 
(life is reduced to breathing)


governments are screaming:
this is reality
this is reality
every now and then a new projection flashes in cyberspace:

it's Chinese
it's American
(Americans blame the Chinese, Iranians blame the Americans: During that Russian roulette, Italy got shot)
it's G5  
it 's micro-chipping
it's nature
it escaped
it is here

I can see how paths of our society bifurcate  
(it's almost palpable)

will we choose a rightful trajectory
or
pave the way for some new prejudices,
some new conflicts
