COVID19 Landay* People are breathless, losing their breath They’re afraid of each other, they’re afraid to go out Missing each other, can’t socialize Now we are socially distant and lonely instead No restaurants concerts or crafts fairs No arty gatherings at the Blue Door Art Center** No yoga but we have it on zoom Zoom yoga: Namaste. Zoom poetry and Zoom school Can it be I am going crazy? In a weird and scary way I’m getting used to it COVID19, coronavirus A lurking menace all around us, unseen, unheard Nanoscopic bits of RNA Its A’s and C’s, U’s and G’s are controlling the world *Landay is a poetry form from Afghanistan, traditionally used by Afghan women. It consists of couplets of a first line of 9 syllables and a second one of 13 syllables. **The Blue Door Art Center, located in Yonkers, NY is a non-profit organization bringing the arts to local communities throughout Westchester currently underserved by arts programs, galleries, and performance spaces.
