Bridge the Distance: An Oral History of COVID-19 in Poems
About This Book
The Process Shaun Ingalls First one up, always. Find a pair of clean shorts and a t-shirt – nobody to impress during quarantine. Start the pot of Folgers – gotta prime the pump. It’s an eight-cup day. Delete emails while the coffee brews. How much of one’s life is spent pressing miniature trash cans? Okay, okay, okay, just a minute! Fill a travel cup and take the dog on walk #1 – lots of dog-walking during quarantine. Toast a bagel. Not really hungry, but I do it anyway – lots of unnecessary eat
