Lockdown
You weren't there to see
it,
But the whole world
stopped for you.
You must have blinked just
once and missed it--
then again, maybe you never
thought to.
Sometimes our view seems
narrow,
like looking through a tube.
But boy, you should have seen it
when the whole world
stopped for you.
When you thought that no one
gave a damn,
the whole world stopped
for you.
