My dreams for post-covid world
To shop at my favorite stores
To eat at the delicious mouth watering restaurants
To explore the new books in the library
To dance to the twisty, twirly music
To laugh with my friends
To hike through mother nature
To learn at my school
To exercise at boxing class
To pray and sing at Church
To have no mask
To show the world who I am
But for now I shop online
I order pickup and eat at home
I pick out books online
I dance in my room
I laugh at a distance
I hike in my neighborhood
I learn on zoom
I don’t do boxing in a gym
I don’t go to Church
I have to wear a mask
I can’t show the world who I am the way I did before
For now I have to show myself a different way
