“Viral Effect”

June 24, 2020

Miasmatic
wind
Air
inadequate

An instinctive state
of mind
Symptoms
mental and physical

Yell for help
but no one stops
We see
driver seats empty

People blindfolded
Clouds
above heads
create ghosts

I say “nothing”
to them
To me
they say nothing

Nature’s will
carved to
myth
in a bubble –

Prison
The icon of
my
anxiety

Where time passes
too slow
Then
too fast
