Challenge
Covid 19
So I know it feels tiring, talking about corona, when that's all anyone has to talk about anymore. I just want a poem or prose about life in quarantine or anything else relating to the pandemic. I'm looking for artistic representations, not a bunch of statistics, so be creative and have fun with it! Also please tag me! :)
zoom
zoom.
it's all
on zoom
now.
those tiny
snatches of
video,
an unauthentic
slice of
somebody else's
life.
pixelated
glitchy
frames,
unblinking
staring
faces.
and the
echo,
the cursed
echo-
it comes out
of nowhere
courtesy
of someone's
bad internet
connection-
but i mean,
who doesn't
have bad
connection
these
days?
and then,
there's those
people,
with their
mic
and video
off.
they're
obviously
watching
YouTube.
so why the heck
are they even
here?
a chat
spiralling
out of control,
getting political.
is anyone
even paying
attention?
it's all
so
chaotic.
zoom.
a beautiful
tragedy
born
from
corona.
