Hiber n a t i o n
By Bowen Wang
it's been raining a lot.
it's quite curious the rain
as if it's telling us
to stay inside
These s t a y-a t-h o m e days.
which is ironic --
we're already forced
to stay
inside
at such a time.
Even stranger still
there's still people outside
passing by s i x - f e e t - a p a r t
when I look out the window
seldom, I can see a jogger.
That’s some serious dedication
During this quarantine,
this hiber n a t i o n
The blue buildings are melting
as the water runs down
Streets and pavements
As if the world is washed clean.
