BEFORE COVID

Before COVID

I never dreamed:

I’d go days without
wearing makeup
Or a bra.

A disease
Could become
Political.

I’d sleep in
So many days
And, enjoy it.

People
Would rebel
Against Measures
Meant To save lives.

I’d spend months
Without shopping
At Ross Dress For Less.

Over 95 million People
would be infected
By a single
Disease.

I’d order groceries
Online
And pick up in my car.

400,000 souls Worldwide
Would lose
Their lives
In 1 year.

I’d look at
Masks
As a fashion accessory.

ICU units
Everywhere
Would be at capacity.

I’d stay home
Day after Day
And not mind it
At all.
