JIFFY COVID

Bell rang and I opened the door,

thinking who? It was my elder Bruv,

Handling me bag,

he said, ”Nobody will go out till the month half"…

Confused me, wasn’t getting his thought,

Did he get Covid and hide till proved?

Thought came running, make me shiver,

‘301, uncle has caught Covid 19’, hearing I shocked,

Not in another apartment, but exact our downward flat…

Immediately informed all,

Got stupefied by my call,

Hyper mom, asking me and my son to camouflage,

At auntie’s house or in-laws,

Understanding municipal will quarantine every man Jack,

Didn’t want to leave, my obligation inclined,

Making her accept, was my difficult job,

Continues palaver, disturbing us a lot, the shaken mind was not allowing any other thought…

People came to inquire, again another worry strangled,

Niece was in fever, may they check everyone’s temperature?

Deciding not to bring her out, we will only face the crew,

Inquiry and index painting only they execute,

But stonkered yet relieved they mould…
