Checking boxes
Gets me high
Feeling productive
Cheapest drug
Watch this
Poem… complete
Box checked
Mmmm feels so good

Vandal
I am a time traveler
With a one-way ticket
A faceless vandal
Leaving marks as I go
Color for the commute
We’re all stuck in traffic
Headed for oblivion
Turn up the music
Look at this wall
This fresh canvas
-T. Weeks
Kids chasing bubbles in the park
Joy uninterrupted
Rainbow jellyfish orbs
Dip rise spread
Disappear
Giggle and search
More please more
What’s an economy
Who is virus
More bubbles more
-T. Weeks
In Place
Got up
Thought a little
Wrote a little
Got to work
Rinse
Repeat
Remote control

Balloons
Colorful balloons
Tied with delicate strings
Much too fine to grasp
Slip through clumsy fingers
Shrinking to nothing
Dancing in the wind
Try tying them down
That won’t save them
As they shrivel and prune
Sink to the ground
Balloons can’t hold air forever
-T. Weeks
Questions
Everywhere he looked all he saw was questions
Almost nothing looked like answers
He liked questions so this wasn’t frustrating
It was just another question
-T. Weeks
(Excerpt from morning writing)
Change
Apathetic blind constant inevitable
Circling beneath the surface
Darkly against the depths
Neither detour nor inconvenience
New world
New rules
New joys
New pains
For the harvesting all the same

Interesting
Say something interesting
Go for it
Come on
Ready 3, 2, 1… go
Nothing?
Try again 3, 2, 1… go
Still nothing?
Hmmmmm
Okay how about embarrassing
Say that
Don’t worry
It’ll be interesting

For Reals
When will the virus seem real?
When the concert is canceled?
When schools are canceled?
When jobs disappear?
When a friend of a friend is sick?
When a friend is sick?
When I am sick?

Quarantine
Locked away
Locked inside
Locked out
Locked on
Locked in
