Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

At Least It Was Something

Our daughter, the professional epidemiologist
(Someone who studies things like diseases and pandemics)
came by today and social distanced with us.

No hugs
No touches
No pats

She refused to come into our house
Explaining she had been too many places
We would lose all ground we had gained

Staying home
Seeing no people
Going nowhere since March 12th, and it is June 7th!

So we sat outside and conversed 
As long as we could stand the humidity
And heat that is ours to deal with on a 97 degree day

Being air conditioning magnets,
This was not long
But it was something.

Andrea Dietrich June 7, 2020 at 3:46 PM I find it ludicrous what they are doing to us with this plandemic. For what's it worth, if you have 25 min or so , watch this woman from Ireland, a scientist/doctor and what she has to say about the "virus" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9ti6isM-NY Caren Krutsinger June 8, 2020 at 5:53 AM I am pretty much over this, but I am afraid the last pandemic lasted two years.
