(UN)COVER

the pavement barren
our bodies stationary
“face covered before entering”

an impatient time
global parallel process
and fear of the unknown.

feelings reminiscent of
a frozen, desolate winter
or losing a home game.

hoping — for another time
of openness to difference
and extinction of polarities.

the legitimacy of “I don’t know’s”
and cryptocurrencies
increasing exponentially

the value of time
and embrace
in crowds full of people

the collective joy of recovery
remote
but not alone.
