United - poetry by Anna Lentz

United


19-year when the virus attacked

18-confirmed cases in Washington state

17-age of a granddaughter of first U.S. casualty

16-Businessmen traveled from Italy, infected

15-hands shook at a place of worship in New York

14-days for the incubation period

13-an unlucky number relating with the unlucky virus

12-am, a perfect time to go shopping; everyone else is at home in bed

11-kids not playing basketball at the park anymore

10-maximum amount of people allowed to be together

9-people avoiding social distancing

8-how old my neighbor girl is that keeps asking me to play

7-baseball players practicing against the nation’s guidelines

6-times, original price of hand-sanitizer has increased

5-thousand or more people waiting to hear their covid-19 test results

4-families on Facetime after hearing the wedding is canceled

3-people I love that are at high risk

2-packages of toilet paper left of the shelf at the store

1-world fighting together
