While sheltering in place
I'll spend this year of grace
composing verse --
some deep, some terse --
while sheltering in place.

While sheltering in place
I'll never touch my face.
My hands I'll wash
to COVID quash...
while sheltering in place.

While sheltering in place
I'll play my double bass.
I'll slowly bow "Mood Indigo"
while sheltering in place.

While sheltering in place
I'll pray, "Lord: Drumpf erase!
May POTUS D eternity
spend sweltering someplace!"
