Corona Jam

open the door
sniff for flowers
follow the light

back home
beware headline onslaughts
listen smile and leave

[judih]

in isolation
all over the world
facetime laughter

hey, news
what's going on?
never mind

[mnaz]

never mind.
losing minds.
in binds.
stay kind.

Trump says god damnmit
Chinese virus named after a Mexican beer
he stews like a child
arms crossed, refusing to answer reporters

meanwhile on my street
everyone come out of their house at 5 pm
and we sing songs, and bang pots
and play flutes,,,,,,and dance

I miss yidish. Eva Shapiro(blessed be her memory) had an expression in Yiddish she was fond of.
she had a sense of humor like Gertrude Stein's.
(Yiddish translation for google not sure of its accuracy) What she meant was "the mind of a cat" kind of snarky I guess, she used it for people who always got caught by surprise when the sun came up every morning

it is 11 am in the land of the free and the home of the scared sh*tless
the stores are sold out of toilet paper and bullets
but thank G d(whatever) the liquor stores are still well stocked
where is Molly Ivins when I need her (blessed be her memory)
here in the Republic of Texas, we have not lost our sense humor
nine days from hoax to a national emergency

we the people studying up on our constitution
living in the future is hard on the amygdala
Eva had the amygdala of a tiger.

Bats and/or Pangolins
come home to roost
and bite humanity


garbage men and grocery clerks and truck drivers and restaurant workers and nurses and doctors
those are a few of my favorite people; my working-class heroes who do more for me than all the war maker heroes overseas
they soldier on while the elected officials cash in on the crash

a big light in the east caught me by surprise this morning
I don't need no stinking bullets
just give me a ballot and a bottle of Jim Beam™

I been watching TV too much, Karen Armstrong on today speaking of adjusting to ‘aloneness’

Keeping my distance on a bike while I still can
Washing hands and typing hands and wishing thoughts
for a good holiday

20 second wash
mantra of the moment
out damn corona

[jackofnightmares]

out with what used to be
after the revolution
life goes on

disruption of the routine
got to live for today
tomorrow is for the talking heads on TV


After a storm there must be a calm
