This is a CrAzY corona virus world we're "living" in - where you fight by staying home with your TV remote

(each stanza is a Senryu poem)

We, the resistance,
are here, stationed on our couches
armed with our remotes.

Camouflaged in our
faded PowerPuff pajamas
and fuzzy slippers

We are determined.
Yes, we have evaded contact
and forsaken love.

We few, lay down such 
as freedom for honest care
for our fellow man.

I couldn’t agree more, Anais, I still hold high hopes that our learned scientists will develop a vaccine soon to put an end to this COVID thing. Hopefully we won’t all go crazy before then. Hang in there girl and keep your remote loaded. John
