Six Feet Under

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR:  CORONAVIRUS SERIES



Six Feet Under

By order of the government
We live in a world where
Handshakes are forbidden
Where breath can kill
Where standing too close
Could be your last act
Of defiance

No hugs no kisses
No bump of the fist
No slap on the back
No whispers in the ear

No one wants to follow the rules
But defiance now is a game of fools

Don’t get too close
Don’t huddle together
No sharing space
No matter the weather

Do not falter and do not wonder
Six feet apart or six feet under
