The New Normal

The world is open now, it´s not like before. There are so many things we can´t simply ignore. Wash your hands, stay apart, wear a mask on your face. I´d hoped after lockdown, we would live with more grace. It´s called the “new normal”, what a ludicrous term. But have things really changed? I fear we´ll never learn.

Hi Claire. I fear we can have no normal, new or not. We have not learnt the lesson that Mother Nature sent. We will scrape through; then what. A thought provoking peom. Many thanks. Take care, stay safe. Tony

The world has changed as a result of this global pandemic. This short piece tells it all about the many changes that birthed the new normal. Good work, Claire.
