Tasting the Covid

Penny's outweigh pounds

Tasting the Covid

Lengthly quesย 
Against a dull grey hue
Languidly stretching around the block

QR codes
Frogs and toads
Over each other we hop

Small talkย 
In the distanced long walk
An unfamiliar backdrop
........................................................

Politely herded
Like livestock to be murderedย 
Then coldly climbing the stairs

QR codes checked once more
As we're shown the door
Dumb animals entering in pairs

The doors swing openย 
Tight crowds, sweat and commotionย 
Tasting the Covid in the air

....................................................

Hot stale exhalationย 
Freedom and sensation
The luxury of a live bands sound

The common sense of manyย 
Out weighing the ignorance of few
The pennies out weigh the poundsย 

A lucky coconut from a stall
Jumping like cats from walls
Landing with our feet on the groundย 
ย

Thank you Jim,
I'm glad you saw past the many spelling mistakes and miss rhymes as I wrote it while quite drunk last night. It has now been heavily edited. It is inspired by my first live concert I attended after the Covid restrictions were lifted.

Take careย  - Sydย

Thank you Marrion,
Like Jim, I'm glad you saw past the many spelling mistakes and miss rhymes as I wrote it while quite drunk last night. It has now been heavily edited. It is inspired by my first live concert I attended after the Covid restrictions were lifted. Glad you enjoyed the poem. It was a very strange sensation being tightly packed after 18 months of social distancing.

Syd this is a great write. You have penned into the history books with this poem. Capturing that helplessness as we as the public are herded around like livestock. Perfect imagery crafted.ย 
Glad I caught this oneย
