Life Parked
Life Parked
Year 2020 saw no movement
Visibility zero on windshields
Coated with layers of dust
Hand brakes hitched up
Ignition switch turned off
Parked in basements
for nine long months
Like a pregnant woman
carrying her baby full term
And beyond!
Life halted by a disguised
Microscopic road bump
Old ways disappeared
Draped in a mist shawl
Introducing changed lifestyle
Coined "The new norm"
Year 2021, one thought
would shift to 'D' mode
Stubbornly stays stuck on 'P'
Life moving only on 'R'
Like caught in a time warp
And I discovered a new me
Hitherto, calm and at peace
Full of angst as more bumps appear
Catching people unawares
Performing the slow death dance
