Notes About The Poem

virtual school is so strange, so lonely, so liberating and convenient.

virtual school moments (in Senryus)

I forget that I'm
virtual school, because I'm
really in my room.

And start brushing my
hair or singing a song I'm secretly 
listening to - until friends text me!

My mom forgets I'm 
in v.school, comes in, to yell 
at me about dishes.

My cat walks across 
my keyboard submitting "*84;'/jifgvbzws*" 
as a test answer.

"It was a typo!," I complain, 
“You still got an "A"," she says. 
"But I LOST 4 points!!" Argh! 
"Get a life!," she says.

These times, yet some prevail in humour. The cat has a GPA of *84;'/jifgvbzws*. That's purr-dy good init? A new meme playing in your poem of lockdown. Well done. -Richard
