Notes About The Poem

How many opportunities have been lost to this viral thief.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

School Bodied

School's started up. sigh
I moved up a notch, of course
but virtual school sucks.

We should be walking
- no, swaggering - ivied halls
with new dominance.

Seniors rule, true,
but with one foot out the door
- Juniors set the tone.

One more viral theft,
that renders long traditions
unapproachable.

This virus changes lives
- bodied within its limits
- what future will rise?

I’m not sure I agree that juniors set the tone, at least not until late spring semester. I am the eternal optimist and I believe we will soon have a vaccine. Hopefully your spring semester WON’T be virtual and you will be able to start setting the tone. A year from now you will be the one strutting down the hallowed halls flaunting your swagger. Keep the faith my young friend.
