See each other, fond sweetheart,
And there's no contact then, effectively,
As we keep eight feet apart.
Oh, is the virus causing the deadlock?
Hmm...I perceive that it's not so,
For a male friend Len told me I've got
Halitosis and B.O.
View with:
From a distance, the world looks blue and green,
And the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
And the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony,
And it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
It's the voice of every man.

An affidavit (truth):
Hate that COVID-nineteen
My hands are clean!
Mask on my face,
Two meters the space
From me to someone else!
Hah, like convicted prisoner
I sit at home - no visitors,
Can't see old parents,
Danger - oldies presence!
Hah, I cough to the elbow,
Defeated de facto. ..
Ow, FATE the high thought!

A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer with a cheese sandwich.
The bartender looks at him in amazement and says, "Gosh, you're a duck!"
"I notice your eyes are working," replies the duck.
"And you can talk!" exclaims the bartender.
"I notice your ears are working, as well," says the duck. "Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and sandwich please?"
"Certainly, very sorry about that," says the bartender as he pours the duck a pint. "It's just that we don't get that many ducks in here. So, what are you doing round this way?"
"I'm working on the building site across the road," replies the duck. "I'm a plasterer."
The astonished bartender just can't believe this duck and is eager to learn more, but he takes the hint when the duck says: 'Cheers', pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it.
So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his cheese sandwich, then bids the barman farewell and leaves.
The same thing happens every day for the next two weeks.
Then one day the circus comes to town!
The ringmaster calls into the pub for a pint and the bartender says to him:
~
"You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, between you and me, I know of a duck that would be a brilliant addition to your troupe. He talks and drinks beer, eats cheese sandwiches, and can read a newspaper!"
"Sounds remarkable!" says the ringmaster, handing the bartender his business card. "Get your beaky friend to phone me sometime soon."
The next day when the duck comes into the pub the bartender says, "Good day, Mister Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying real good money."
"OK, I'm always looking for the next job," says the duck. "Where is it?"
"At the circus," says the bartender.
"The circus?" repeats the duck.
"That's right," replies the bartender.
"A proper circus?" the duck asks again. "In an enormous TENT?"
"Yep!" the bartender replies.
"With those animals who live in CAGES, and performers who live in CARAVANS?" says the duck.
"Of course," the bartender replies.
"And the tent has CANVAS sides and a canvas roof with a hole in the middle?" persists the duck.
"That's right!" says the bartender.
The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says:
"What would they want with a plasterer?"

Millennials, I know this 2020 pandemic is harsh and really ruining your life right now. You're afraid you'll run out of food. You have to be at a certain distance from older loved ones. Those numbers seem unnerving: First 11 are infected, then 119, then 184 deaths, then 920... You hear that the global infection rate will reach 85%-95%. And your leader is this insane nihilist who's usually spouting nonsense and lies.
Meanwhile, you don't remember what day it is. It's a dull, miserable existence with sleepless nights and nap-filled days. It might be easier to work from home in theory, but not when your children are home-schooled. Furthermore, you're in constant fear you would be unemployed when things deteriorate.
You can't even go and buy a simple toaster. And when they decide you can go out, you have to wear a stupid paper mask.
So life couldn't possibly get any worse, right?

But imagine for a second that you were born in 1910. When you're four, WWI starts and ends on your eighth birthday with 40 million deaths. Later that year, Earth is facing the Spanish Flu epidemic and fifty million people die from it in two years. When you turn 19, the Great Depression begins and runs until you're 28. The entire world economy nearly collapses. You turn 29, and that's when WWII starts. 85 million people perish, six million of them in the Holocaust alone. And then, on your 52nd birthday, there's the Cuban missile crisis. Life as we know it could've ended right there and then.
But you manage to survive all of this and more, and eventually reach the respectable age of 110. Those terrible things made you stronger and you feel you could live on for many more years. And then you die because someone coughed on you.
Does wearing a mask still sound like a hassle?

"The Peace of Wild Things"
Wendell Berry
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

A false narrative of peace parents offer to terrified children, entitled
"Where the Wild Things Are"
One night Max donned a wolf suit
and made a lot of mischief,
so his mother called him 'Wild Thing'
and sent him to bed without his dinner.
Late that night, while trees began to grow in his room,
an ocean rushed by with a fleet boat to ferry the 'wolf'
away to the remote area where terrifying things live.
The wee wolf-god overpowered
the fierce spirits of wild things,
crowned himself as king,
and weakened, they obeyed.

How the astrological signs apologize:
PISCES: Well, I believe I may be wrong, but you need to admit you're wrong too, and this is exactly like in Fourth Grade when you didn't lend me your toothbrush at camp. I'm sorry but why?
ARIES: I'm very sorry that you chose to make me angry.
TAURUS: Quit being mad. I'm sorry. Chinese tonight?
GEMINI: If the totally unbiased panel of voices in my own head does indeed determine I was in fact wrong, at that time I will ultimately apologize.
CANCER: When you didn't read my mind and know exactly how I felt without me ever telling you it hurt my feelings, and if you can work on that in the future, I suppose I'm sorry.
LEO: I'm sorry you're upset, but it sounds like you might be jealous.

VIRGO: I'm sorry you feel that way, but that is immaterial. Maybe you're not competent. Let me enlighten you: if you did things exactly like I recommend they should be done, we wouldn't be in this situation right now. I care about your feelings, but remember, I told you so, dummy!
LIBRA: I'm sorry you misunderstood everything I said and were injured.
SCORPIO: (crickets)
SAGITTARIUS: Friend, I apologize. Why deny the ugly, yet accurate, things my fast mouth said to you?
CAPRICORN: We differ; I'm a known gentleman. I acknowledge what an important skill it is to apologize. Why, this might have been an expensive lesson! I hope you/they will understand me now.

The Plague (A sonnet by Christina Rossetti)
"Listen, the last stroke of death's noon has struck -
The plague is come", a gnashing Madman said,
And laid him down straightway upon his bed.
His writhed hands did at the linen pluck;
Then all is over. With a careless chuck
Among his fellows he is cast. How sped
His spirit matters little: Many dead
Make men hard-hearted. "Place him on the truck.
Go forth into the burial-ground and find
Room at so much a pitful for so many.
One thing is to be done; one thing is clear:
Keep thou back from the hot unwholesome wind,
That it infect not thee." Say, is there any
Who mourneth for the multitude dead here?

A Big Mistake
When horrid things take place, we'll tell our kid
Some incoherent tosh to ease that dread,
And children need this aid to close the lid
On gruesome phobias inside those heads.
But uninformed adults that want delusion,
That breach the law with childish indignation,
Might mess up years of airtight, apt conclusions -
Then force a trauma on the population.
I'd highly recommend to know for sure
The hidden facts - and not to overnight
Some shipment of placebos and fake cures
Which mainly make this worse and fuel this fright;
When monumental days shake us apart,
The "mugs" are those that only think they're smart.

Yet I've got to be sure

Going on seventy-three,
Will I be okay to be free?

How can I go on livin' this way, livin' this way,
Survivin' the day on one doughnut?
I vow, my gut thinks my throat has been cut!

I want, I want, I want, I want... I think I want to break free.
