Echo

It is a time of doubt 

One that has only question and few answers 

Many insecurities born of fear 

edging their way into life 

All society can do is wait in isolation

Slow at first only precautionary measures 

Wash your hands 

Don't gather in large groups

Be aware of your surroundings 

Then all at 

once

Businesses close some go bankrupt 

Nonessential work is stopped 

Grocery stores remain open

Don't stand close to me

I want my full six feet 

Hospitals are in flux 

Life as we know changes by the hour 

Another change the officalias have activated 

Stay at home orders 

Tomorrow is unknown - uncertain 

Now towns feel empty 

Now I live alone

Now is the age of zoom calling 

Now I have questions 

It is a time of doubt 

One that has only question and fwe answers 

Many insecurities born of fear 

edgeing their way into life 

I dread the echo as it carries with it only doubt 

My dear reader let me ask you this one question

What do you dread more the echo or the answer
