"Zoom Pants Covid Purse"
Long time ago
gut bacteria ate Big Macs
but now multi-taskarooni
is the trending casserole.
Even these skinny jeans can’t hold back
this recipe of boredom slathered in frenzy.
Teaching my daughter algebra two
and my son that culture
rhymes with vulture.
Yet I do sit ups and zoom.
I can shop on my phone
for hormone-free chicken
and some Halo Top Keto
Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Cream
while I sell this house
because interest rates are so low
and I will pay
the Organizing Angel to haul
all this stuff bought
at the Amazon mall.
I’ve been waiting for someone
to shut down this world
with a pandemic
so I can finally get skinny
on a walk to the cemetery.
Still I wake up and face is here
saying write this all in your food diary
so future generations will know
where did all the pretty women go?
