Shortness of Breath
written by: Kenneth Vincent Walker
Shortness of breath amidst
This horrendous pandemic,
Is it due to the confines of
This blasted mask, or is it
Purely psychosomatic?
My nose has been running
Along with my fears with
The death toll seared in my
Subconscious along with
The multitude of my peers.
My ears have been itching,
As conspiracy theories swirl,
Which has clouded objective
Thinking and judgment in this
My cold, and morally defiant
Post-apocalyptical world.
