Ningbo Stranger

Ningbo Stranger A dock worker in Ningbo diagnosed with Covid So, the port is now shut down. Continents away, we've never met But at him, in annoyance, I frown. Suddenly, this stranger has entered my life We're in an odd sort of relationship He is causing a great inconvenience Now our desired commodities cannot ship. But his specter lingers in my mind I'm wondering how he is faring He probably has a wife and kids My emotions shift to caring. This plague has touched the entire world We share a virus with one another Maybe it's here to urge us to touch Each other as sister and brother-in-law. Molly Moore
