Schools Stand Still
Words rooted in science
Spread fear,
Effect before cause.
Stay away and help,
In solidaritude we prevail.
The Tree of Us is coughing,
Sending its fruits most fragile
Flailing below.
Nice to know
Some get to keep
Their keep.
Most will not.
Some will rot.
Dogs bark, owners text
From six feet away
I watch, uprooted,
Schools stand still.
