Old versus older:
Every second we're older,
so in time we're old.

*

I understand why
we bite the hand that feeds us
- because it's so close.

Facing the music:
Why is that such a bad thing?
Just face it and dance.

Adapted from observation of Billy Collins on his Pandemic Poetry Broadcast on Facebook today.

I'm thinking of you
and thinking of my thinking
of thinking of you

The second hand ticks
steadily, like a soldier
marching into war.

Corona time flies
similarly to old time
fast, fast and slow, slow
