Cannot Imagine What Is

Not really I replied
I could not actually imagine a pandemic
In my lifetime

Had never heard the term pandemic
Or if I had, 
I did not recall it.

The world has turned itself
upside down and sideways
People have stopped socializing

For the pandemic is here
Swiveling her terrifying self
Into every aspect of our lives 

When I get to heaven I will ask
about her, for she is stealing our 
days with each other, making me irritable.
