Birthdays, Covid and October
Many people I love born in October I don't know
why October has always been
a birthday month and even though
birthdays still happen now
we celebrate with quarantinis
on zoom two words I've never used before
if I said zoom in the past I meant
movement not sitting on the couch with my
laptop on my legs looking at faces in small
Hollywood squares on the screen looking at people
from the neck up some are wearing pajama bottoms
but I can't see them in this strange world of Covid
and more weeks of uncertainty but still
celebration is celebration and quarantinis
no matter what you decide to drink
Negronis or not quarantinis are a good thing
even now.
