Americans Do Not Take Direction Well
My daughter is a public health specialist
She says the CV19 would be gone in three weeks
if Americans would sequester themselves
But we will not because we are arrogant
And we do not want anyone telling us what to do
She has begged me to sequester myself in the house
Maybe even a closet with no air holes or windows
Because my immune system is compromised
If anyone ever got a virus while sequestered
For a thousand days, not seeing anyone else at all
It would be me. If there is one thing I am positive about
it is that. First bit of positivity I have felt in ten days.
Hey! Is that the door! I rush to open it.
I have not seen a person in ten days.
No one except my husband who refuses to be sequestered.
It is a wagon full of toilet paper and the last hand sanitizer
on this side of the Mississippi.
