remember that yardstick?
(more like two of them)
a metric that mattered
(so we were told)
social distancing
defining where
one aura began
another ended
(I should have said era)
up there
aboveground
not that 6 feet
for god's sake
and then today
or was it yesterday
(time has become so timeless)
as I walked by the school
elementary, so primary
colors, I saw those chalk outlines
body shapes
pastel designs
I am sorry to report
that reminded me
of a TV crime scene
(a not-very-parenthetical aside
I am told)
all kidding aside
I wish I didn't go there
don't you
I wish we all did not
go there or anywhere
like that
