You can pocket space like gold coins
Hear the silence drop in your pockets and jingle
For the street are bare of crowds
The streets are bare of noisy jostle
The streets are bare of grackles on the side walk
The doors to the bars are shut, closed, bolted
The doors to the clothes shops are are shut, closed, bolted
The doors to the schools are shut, closed, bolted
The housewives prefer to hide
The children prefer to hide
The rains still fall
The clouds still puff out
The morning birds still sing
The Covid 19 virus was happier yesterday
The Covid 19 virus came out to play
The Covid 19 virus morphs and morphs
Still the humans hide away making
Masks
Vaccines
Videos
Music
Protocols
You can pocket space like gold coins
Hear the silence drop in your pockets and jingle
Jingle for health
Jingle for another day dawning
Jingle for a battle, Covid 19 the war is on!

So true and powerful. It's a sad reality today, and we may have learned too late to appreciate life before the pandemic. It does seem never-ending, but I'm hopeful it ends soon. Beautifully penned.
