What might feel like home,

has left the arena to make room

for an old played out charade.

We can’t go shopping, dining,

visiting neighbors in home and afar,

without fearing this ill reckoning.

What’s my home once was yours.

Today let’s create a serious code,

lets find security in our communication,

help us all, we might manage our anxiety.

Thank God we have an arctic blast 

on it’s way to buffer us, shelter us,

sooth our panic and this real confusion. 

Help us chip away at this incessant ICE.
