COVID-19 Ghazals<br />

Six Feet Apart<br />

They tell us to stay indoors, something I already do<br />

But then they tell us to stay more than 6ft apart<br />

I take no time to close the shades and binge on new shows, though<br />

sometimes I wish to sit next to her, the voice in my head replays:<br />

more than 6ft apart<br />

People complain that they just want to dance at the club<br />

I complain that home is way more than 6ft apart<br />

No longer have to fake reasons to cancel plans last minute with friends<br />

Now if only my fridge could stay way more than 6ft apart *insert fake laugh*<br />

Making scheduled grocery trips to search for essentials like toilet paper<br />

Then standing throughout the stores in makeshift passageways<br />

more than 6ft apart<br />

Now waking up in the afternoon just to go to sleep at 4 am<br />

Thinking on how to live day by day, more than 6ft apart<br />

No point for us to count the hours or the days<br />

Just as long as we decay more than 6ft apart<br />
