Talking with my neighbor,
Keeping our 6 foot distance,
Our words floating through the air
Land upon others ears
Across the courtyard.
Soon a 6 foot convention
Gathers. “The new normal.”

‘
This new normal is
Filled with masks and 6 foot marks.
A world so surreal
Senryu
Since this Sheltering in Place took effect I have only been going out to the stores one day a week to get my groceries and necessary supplies.
Each week I see more and more changes taking affect. More control, more limiting, more distancing and this week, today it was more masks.
It seemed everyone was wearing masks today, where in previous week just a few were doing so.
It just seemed so surreal seeing everyone all around me in masks.

Saying Goodbye to the
Most unprecedented month
March hopping away
Senryu
I wish March was taking the virus with it.
Looking forward to better days in April.
