Incoming Pandemic Of Boredom Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Incoming Pandemic Of Boredom

Rating: ★3.8


A Tanka prose


In dim light, I half listen to myself singing "Are you Lonesome Tonight? " on YouTube, hour after hour...

quarantined
in a world of detached others
I elbow-bump
this drunken shadow
on the attic wall

So we turn to Elvis in isolation. He knew how to breath life into a remorseful song. -QtR
