Plague Poems on Nostr: If you ask me “were you like this before the pandemic?” I will be honest with you ...

If you ask me
“were you like this
before the pandemic?”
I will be honest with you
and respond that no
I was not like this
before the pandemic,
for you see
before the pandemic
I truly believed
(I foolishly believed)
that in the face of catastrophe
we would stand together.
