Thank You Covid
Me behind the wheel
But something amiss
Not the usual
'In control' feel
Visibility almost zero
Foggy windscreen
Nothing can be seen
I turn the ignition off
Can’t switch off
Nervousness, anxiety
What to do?
Getting fidgety
Let me adjust
The rear mirror
Wooh….ah….
Everything so clear
So close
The fun, the laughter
And all those
Memories nostalgic
Life on
A leisurely
Rewind mode
Flooding me with images
Saying, 'Take your pick'
I happily
Almost greedily
Embrace the past
Lost in those good old days
A voice says
'Hurry! Press the accelerator
Otherwise you’ll reach last'
Visibility has increased
But I don’t pay heed
Simply smile
Gently turn the key
Engine purrs to life
Lovely sound
Never noticed it
For all this and more
It’s 'Thank You COVID'
