Coronavirus Second Wave Second Lockdown

The long day is longer still The life at home Without a world outside Stretches on forever Boredom and malaise Are the daily music of the inner struggle Longing is lost in the impossibility of its realization And hope is a name for a yesterday that never was I go on as I go on as I go on as I go on And all seems to say That there is no way To return the normal everyday simple pleasure Of thoughtless happiness This is not the greatest time to be alive And I am an old man who may be in the grave Before it is all over.
