Masked

The new normal.

By Corene TorresPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Mask like a muzzle

On that quarantine shuffle

In my zone

Working from home

The Rona is roaming

As plans keep postponing

Real gangstas grocery shop

Hey keep moving don’t stop

Hurry back home

Wash everything you own

Life in isolation

Don’t fight procrastination

News is stressful

Fake news wrestle

Days start to blend

In sight there’s no end

Cabin fever, I could explode

Found a healthy way to unload

Expression through creativity

Living life with simplicity

My world is small and safe

Balanced, no need to escape

I’ve accepted this year’s time out

Gives me time to figure stuff out

Approaching life like Odysseus

Almost forgetting what normal was
