For three days it rained Torrential unforgiving Thunder and lightning The storm passed on finally And the sun peeked playfully

Our universe a locked cage We’re hamsters on a big wheel Pointless round and round we go Not a moment to be still And when the world overwhelms

The heavens bluer than blue The ocean a shade deeper The sun rose as if on cue To make the world much brighter The sun climbed higher than high

hand sanitizers we’re armed a pack of disinfectant wipes out into the world we venture gather supplies hunt for food like neanderthals of old

Our backyard labor of love My wife chose all that’s in it Fruit-bearing trees solar lights The concrete bench where we sit Garlic society

Tender hopes are fading fast This pestilence will soon end The outlook gloomy and bleak Dim future the signs portend Sad days whenever you lose
