“Widening Limits”

by Suzán Jiván Mom
& Mom-Mom Suzán

Widening limits
new restrictions
enforcing distance
without all the specifics
admonishing,
“These are NOT
helpful hints!”
injecting liquidity
into wish lists
versus bucket lists
surging
from alerts to alarms
dashing
off memoirs
filled with diabolical
whoppers
in overfilled field
hospitals
being stoked by virulent
pathogens
absent of sentimentality
as haplessly problematic
pandemic management
where “closeness”
is calamitously stamped,
“CANCELED” ...
