corona ceasura: a pandemic pause
but
no one can sleep
it's an insomniac trap house
with depression and anxiety on tap
and low-key passive aggression for chasers.
cirque desolation
in the dream
a maskless crowd
flees convenience store scene
hearing siren’s arrival
dead line is a problem
early
reduced to one or two
time to people in beds is less
treated in the same way providing the quality
convenient solutions can convenience
easier to smear and give consumers to consumers
with options remote health care
