a pantoum
I scroll through my phone until my coffee gets cold
After waking from dreams of washing my hands off
Completely off, and the only thing I can hold is fear
Now my anxious mind breaks my body down

Now my anxious mind breaks my body down
I suppose I could still go for a hike and breathe
Bill Gates estimates 2021 for a vaccine
How can I escape this chaotic surreality?
I suppose I could still go for a hike and breathe
Yet my brain is addicted to the screen
How can I escape this chaotic surreality?

Yet my brain is addicted to the screen
Caught in the human tendency to isolate
I tell myself: Turn the noise of the world off!
Completely off, and the only thing I hold is fear;
Caught in the human tendency to isolate
I scroll through my phone until my coffee gets cold
