Covid 19 Has Reprogrammed My Brain

going to the store
I mean inside not just out
is a big deal

I would have to dress
maybe shrug my pajamas
pandemic costume

would I see people
would they stay six feet apart
would I scream at them

the covid 19
has totally changed my ways
reprogrammed my brain

what is normal now
are my friends even alive
I had better call

I agree Caren, What is normal? It has my thoughts so muddled I feel I can't think straight anymore. To many shades of grey...

Kids are upset here in KC because they have not had teachers tell them what to do for 14 months. They are having melt downs all over; I guess my job is secure.

I think normal will never feel normal until the masks are OFF.

I keep hoping we can get back to normal but the students I see are furious now they are under the control of a teacher. Many had "free reign" at their homes for fourteen months.
