DUCT  TAPE  MOOD

The mood was silver grey – 

grey clouds on a rainy day - 

like unwanted dimes and nickels 

in a dish – on my bureau - like 

duct tape holding together the 

vinyl on an old family foot stool. 

I’m feeling lazy and ordinary. 

This coronavirus is depressing. 

It’s seeping into the seams 

of my life – making me feel like 

I can’t keep myself all together.
