A Covid poem (My hands are dirty and unsafe)

Grey sky, same view.

Stay home

stay safe stay scared.

Keep your germs away

Get the cloth and wipe

shopping from Sainsburys Local

Delivered by Mohammed from Deliveroo

My hands are dirty

And unsafe

Grey people in nursing homes

Dropping like flies

I am untouched

Animals freakshow mating

Dogs with snakes

Slippery scales from the East

Killing grannies

I crunch strawberry Mr Freezies in

my outside pen

in the blistering sun.

2D people and places yawn into an endless summer

They died with it not of it

Bang bang pans go bang bash

Afternoon turns into night

Into morning into afternoon

Into night.

I found out who my friends were

They didn’t die in nursing homes
