Outside, all is quiet now
No cars, fireworks or streetraces
Outdoor cafes receive some guests now
Distant freedom lures many faces
Evening Clock Gone
Kingsday
In the past, festivals were elaborate
Now, small scale meetings create
Focus on individual persons
In online, indoor situations
Today’s News
The Evening clock will be lifted
From next week
Outdoor activity, shops, reopen soon
A row about an offensive cartoon
& The cartoonist isn’t even that gifted
Word & Concept Of The Year
Has anybody given it some thought yet?
It’s soon enough for these describing our predicament:
Timeslot; Shop Appointment; test event;
Maybe, you already have your own set
Should We Be Ashamed, Worried?
Sometimes I think:
Hadn’t we been so filthy
& Not expanded without boundary
Covid19 could only shrink
Travel These Days
A simple trip to the city center
Where otherwise crowds would enter,
Is a pleasant diversion for my persona
First time since corona
29 February 2020
We were told to stay indoors — if we can
I belonged to those who are allowed to work
How little has changed, actually, in a year’s time
Also now we say, ‘Only a few more months’
But now, a Mediterranean Sun vacation is less likely
The State has paid business owners’ rent, also now
Today, people say, covid is to stay coming years
Most of us aren’t used to what now adheres
People elected the same State back, despite its ills
In the end, they trust its anti covid19 policy.
Some Complaints
The vaccine gave me some problems
Resembling those I had a year ago
Covid resembling problems,
Those days when testing, still, was a no go
Vaccine Turbulence
The vaccine brand now in me
Was banished today temporarily
A little I worry
Coming week, more I’ll see
Under Estimated
More Freedom?
Our lives have been restricted
Won’t it be nice to get back freedom
The vaccine is depicted
As a door to normality & freedom
(I had the vaccine today.)
Normalcy
Fun shopping, coffee outdoors
Guests, evening entertainment
Those were the days of carefree merriment
I realise gratitude is in place, even when so much bores
Weird Days
Life Indoors
We all love a hike
But, it looks like,
We will be more confined
There’s a new threat to which we’re blind
Evening Clock
Forever hesitating,
The government considers this
Now, months of talking
A hesitant lockdown indeed it is
