Shelter in Place Haiku
A Rejuvenation of Human Enjoyment
Sheltering at home
Dreaming when this is over
Time to look ahead.
Sea of team colors
Disjointed conversations
*CRACK!* Unified Cheer!
Friends gather close by
Group laughing, glasses meet. *Clink!*
“Make sure to tag me”.
Door Rings. Butterflies.
Sitting across someone new?
Time to say hello.
Jogging to the beat
Passing regular faces
Just a quick high five.
Conversation stops
Back arches, deep inhale. Glee
Utensils hit plate.
Visiting nephew
Cheers “Firetruck!” Sister smiles
This is a long hug.
Simple things once more
Something to look forward to
Rejuvenation.
Essential workers
Futures earned by you at home
Help flatten the curve.
Alone Together
To be in-person once more
I’ll see you again.
