Some poems for mood swings
Out in the open air
I take a backward step.
You approach persistently
Yes, can we be social distantly?
Yes, nice to see you, but
Yes, with your DIY haircut
It’s not occurred to you yet
As I take a backward step
Yes, I heard what old Trump said
Falling numbers of Covid dead
Have you been tested by any chance?
Just asking as we do this awkward dance.
