The world became like de Chirico paintings. The mind is so drained. It was such A surprise everyone looked like the scream Suddenly we are all aliens. We've woken up foreigners On a planet we believed Belonged to us but today Has been declared off-limits. We can only visit, this New hushed landscape, Through state-sanctioned Daily walks. It's awkward. We are sticking together by staying apart March 23rd the words rang out, That lockdown starts today. From now on everyone you meet, Must be 6 feet away.
