Pretty Ugly Words

New Normal: The Pendulum

Housebound in sweatpants--informal
A shiny new normal
Quarantine dreams
and screams
And now
we're forced to bow
and hide with dread and fear
Maybe they'll let us out next year...

Ode to My New TV

Our new forty-inch TV–
HD potentiality–
is great for sports
all sorts
of shows.
Science just glows– universe so clear, bright
I see the cosmos filled with light.
