I
is anyone else tired?
like really tired
in a bone-weary
exhausted tomorrow
sort of way?
II
my body feels heavy
arms, legs weighted
muscles active against
the resistance of air
pushing back pushing down;
minute dips and peaks
trip-hazards in pavements
III
the world forgot
what the pandemic taught
easily readily reverting
to what was but what was
is past and never will again;
it was a heyday fleeting
(a roaring age of excess)
we just didn’t know it
or didn’t care;
so the new norm
is not the old norm
and no-thing was learned
“Music changes, but the dance steps don’t…” ~ Good Die Young, Divynls
