Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

Covid Full Or Covid Free

Tables are Covid-full.
Some have had it. Some have it.
Some are carrying it.
Some are vaccinated. Others are not.

Masks are down because this is the cafeteria.
All are eating, conversing, putting droplets onto tables.
My mask is up. I am a lot older. I am trying not to get this.
Covid is up five hundred percent in two weeks where I live.

Some students have been quarantined.
A few have been quarantined twice.
Parents are phoning us, irritated their children have been sent home.
School nurses are depressed, ready to quit.

I watch it all in awe and amazement.
We eradicated the smallpox, measles and mumps.
Everybody got vaccinated.
People were more concerned about others than their “rights”.

Ilene Bauer January 19, 2022 at 1:55 PM you've said this really well, caren! i don't get it either... Caren Krutsinger January 19, 2022 at 10:57 PM Thank you Ilene.The health care workers are so depressed that the anti-vacs are taking up all the hospital beds, so others who could have lived if they had gotten a bed are now dying. It is sadly the most SELFISH thing I have ever seen - to not get a vaccination for your "rights".

L Milton Hankins January 19, 2022 at 9:04 AM I couldn't agree more, Caren. Some really ridiculous attitudes out there. Caren Krutsinger January 19, 2022 at 10:58 PM The world has been crazy in Ameria for about fie years if you ask me.
