The Pandemic Way Rashanai Moore She lies on her bed sad and upset Wondering when she’ll go outside next Tossing and turning around the bed Counting down the hour she’ll go have fun instead Then she opens up her computer to work right away Scrolling up and down the laptop wondering what to say She finally gets up to stretch taking breath by breath On to another video call to learn a different way Quietness means hang up right away Even though there’s not much to say Here as a student she tries so much anyway
