I hope you are finding
Your quarantine dreams
In using your fine China
For once this year
Instead of not at all
I hope you are finding
Your quarantine dreams
In connecting with
Your father, mother
Brother, uncle
And all the souls you love
But never found the time
When you had
The freedoms
Of the normal world
Before the new
“Normal world”
I hope you are finding
Your quarantine dreams
In the laughs
Of your children
When you burn
the French toast
Because you were busy
Telling a story
they never heard
I hope you are finding
Your quarantine dreams
In yourself
Your brain
Your heart
And finding where they
One day negotiate peace
I hope you are finding
Your quarantine dreams
In an actual dream
When you’ve aged
Past the world of quarantine
Past the world of stay home
And no hugs
Or affectionate love
I hope you are finding
Your quarantine dreams
The dreams of going back
To a world
Where we hide our fine China
And save it away
Because we know
There are better days
When fine China
Will be of use
Love this
