Paranoia Peaks

~ Paranoia Peaks ~

 a sniffle, a cough
 is a fever coming on
 for the thermometer i run

 whew... no temperature
 but my stomach's queasy
 makes my whole day uneasy

 at the store earlier
 did enough distance i keep ~
 through masks COVID seeps

Jenish Somadas Date: 8/19/2020 11:13:00 PM Yes.. Fear in the air everywhere.. A mild cold is queried as a matter of life and death.. How I loved the old world!! Nice poem Gershon.. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 8/20/2020 4:42:00 PM Well, at least in our 'brave new world,' we don't let a 'little cold' morph into pneumonia -- at least not without doing our dangdest to fight it! Thanks, Jenish. :) gw
