Quandry of Quarantine #NewNormal #A2Z



(English) Dilemma 

Someone said 

What keeps something out 

also shuts you in 

a door can be a pathway 

it can also be a prison gate 

and then there was a new Q

Q as in Quarantine

the quandry of staying in 

and staying apart

The chasm that grows and fades

quandry to quandry

  1. Thank you for using Lisa Alther's perfect quote. It made me smile:)

  2. Wah so brilliant. And simple yet filled with meaning.

  3. Lovely poem depicting the delay delaying nature of humans.

  4. If felt like more of a quandry last year, with new vaccines not so much. And technology has linked us in quarantine, so we are not so far apart after all.

  5. What keeps the virus out also shuts us in... The pandemic has altered our lives so drastically!

  6. This is brilliantly written. loved it.
