In Search of Lost Time
This is really
not a good time
for this virus to show up.
Not when I'm 68 years old.
Couldn’t it have arrived ten years ago
before I became
elderly?
I can make myself ten years younger.
(Maybe twelve or fifteen. Why stop at ten?)
My mother did that
during the war.
After
she said we were safe
they couldn't get to us
because of the ocean.
Now
six feet apart
no ocean protects us.
Too bad we didn't learn to breathe under water.
I watch television
wonder why people are standing
so close to each other.
I walk in zigzags.
My ponytail pulls at the strings of the mask
suffocating me.
At night I check the doors.
But who will sneak in now?
The virus
is the only one out and about.
How old will my grandchildren
be when I hold them again?
Will the youngest be surprised to see we have bodies attached to our heads
that we don’t live on a.
