Entrapment

For those who faced the challenge.

For those who took the hit.

For everyone who self-imposed,

In order not to transmit.

Are these memories of a bygone time?

Is the brunt of it truly passed?

Will it ever completely peter out?

Will there be an actual last?

So many privileges stolen,

With freedoms and rights curtailed.

Dispossessed by the routine of it,

With an antigen test that’s failed.

Floors, walls and ceilings,

That may or may not be homely.

Using books and the internet,

Still left those feeling lonely.

Using unbidden musings to fill the time;

Are these problems self-inflicted?

Are there addictions being born,

With no ending clearly predicted?

Not feeling welcome in that new world,

Despite being part of a great endeavour.

No choice, but to take one’s time,

Knowing it’s not the beginning of forever.

Bonding reluctantly with all those

Distant and unknown others.

Embroiled and feeling trapped,

With an isolation that smothers.

An embroilment that had those trapped,

While the purpose was understood,

A mask-free coffee in a café…

Well, it just never sounded so good!
