Afloat: This poem is about living in these confusing times of the “Covid” pandemic, and the constant uncertainty of handling normal everyday tasks.

Afloat

today I am going to build a better way

I will open my doorway to more sunrays

and walk the pathway to a shimmering bay

I need to run away from her empty pearl tray

visit downtown and watch a live play

or hang-out in the alley outside the royal ballet

just for appearances sake, I’ll shuffle and sway

maybe the town-crier would let me stay

even though I might look like an old stray

standing alone under the memorial archway

then without delay I jump on the tramway

and head away to the shipping quay

that have restored ocean liners on display

where I shily sneak up the gangway

waving my refugee pass for entry to the USA
