After the pandemic and the riots, life in 2020 got better. People appreciated the cops more, we recognized the bad and the good governors, and only a few peaceful protests went on. We made quite a few technological advancements and the autonomous zone shut down. Everything reopened soon after and the pandemic stopped. Everything was good.

Do people learn?
As if the world was sleeping
The cars moved
We did not
The stock was spent
But not bought
As the days came and went
They never really passed
Bodies like windows, inside, glassed
snow globed into their homes
Motionless gnomes
An imminent to a transient
“flatten the curve” a needed tangent
