RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
Square One II
How long (we asked) will this go on?
How long before it’s done?
Eighteen months and counting
Now we’re back to square one
We’ve been pushed to our limits
Some have strained their will to live
How much more must we take
When we have little left to give?
It is the summer of the warming
The August sun is burning hot
We dream of cooler climates
Somewhere where we’re not
So the test begins again
At least now we’re more prepared
We know what we must do
But do we know enough to care?
We are reaching for an end
But we’ve seen this play before
When it’s over it begins again
Til we’re angry to the core
We’ve searched through our memories
We know there is no other way
We must let go of all our anguish
And live from day to day
