Oh, the Places!
Written by Daniel Cespedes
Today’s not your day.
You’re stuck in one place now!
You’re bored with no pay!
You have clothes on your bed.
You’ve gone weeks without shoes.
You simmer in all of
your quarantine blues.
You’re inside alone. Your chin hairs have grown.
And YOU need to stop binge watching those shows.
You look up and down streets. Where are the people, where!?
You look across and you say, “I wish I could go there.”
With your mask on your face and your hands in your gloves,
you wish you could go back to the way life once was.
to your stupid, dumb house.
And once you’re inside,
you hit click on your mouse.

Not again, man, come on.
You sit there in despair
as you frequently do
and miss all the days that
you slept with your boo.
But one day things will open,
don’t worry, don’t plea.
Just wait some more time.
And once the world’s ready,
OH!
THE PLACES YOU’LL GO!

Beneath the surface of a pool reside
Something nostalgic like the swish of a fin,
Waves like a drumroll, longing symphony of tide.
A secret not well-kept in the anemones do hide;
gulls scan meekly for the promise of life
to find a pool half full of creatures alive,
the other half dead, though in their living they tried…
