You’ve Been Quarantining Too Long…
by Alan Goldberg
Gotta disinfect the front door, no, I just did that, no I didn’t, did I? Yesterday? Saturday?
“Hi! Good to catch up. No, we’re not much TV watchers, BUT [show name]...”
Ya know, it’s okay stuck in this place. No pressure!
Was that closet always there?
Is an itch a sign, no, That’s silly. OK, quick Goog…See! HA! I doubt I have liver disease! Right?
Maybe I should find that guy on Facebook. I’m sure he’d like to hear from me. We had some good times. Gerald? Gary?
Darkness at Noon? Twilight?
Did I notice this before? The iPhone apps’ download animation, in its first 20%, looks like Hitler!
Okay, mask inside, distance outside, mask inside, distance outside, mask outside, distance inside, mask inside, distance inside, SHIT!
COVID. COVID. Count Out Venetians in Doges? Could Old ‘Vettes Ice Daytona? Cream On Veal Is Delicious? Cash, Orbison, Valens: Idols Departed?
Better take a night off from cocktails toni…tomorrow. Tomorrow, for sure. ◊
