Pandemic

Humble beginnings

Imperceptible tremors

Slowly shaping

Shifting

***

First it captured their sight

Then it took over their hands

They sat for longer

Unable to stand

***

Mutated strains adapted

Found in small pockets

Over time

Taking over the mind

***

Disconnection from reality

Inability to recognize loved ones

Overflowing anxiety, panic attacks

Low self-esteem, even suicide

***

Late-stage, screen staring all night

This pandemic changed us

Or maybe the disease

Is what we’ve allowed ourselves

To become
