Pandemic is trending on Netflix in March

I am still getting paid to fuck from home but the coffee isn’t as good

My dog has never been happier than he is now

Stares at me from the couch under a mound of blankets

When we go for a walk, there are a million people outside

You bring home canned spam and vienna sausage after work

& I complain loud as ever about my apocalypse standards

Everyone stands together near the bayou with ongoing terror

We were taught to deal with trauma in swamp-like bursts

When the cell phone towers went out, we tried not to panic

Or to think about months of homelessness and nomadic wandering from city to city

How we fought to come back to this place

Now every day is a cockblock, you say. The opposite of a hurricane party
