Business As Normal Big surge. Fast spread. No end in sight. Breakfast briefing at Downing Street. Full English. Boris bursting with bacon. Pinged. Carpets bloody, but getting on with it. Business? As normal. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, November 16th, 2020 Image by Pexels from Pixabay

Microspread
Microspread Fifty million doses. Enough for two and a half million people. A good spread. Not available yet. But critical. Plausible, effective and willing, but not able to quite r e a c h t h e e d g e s and not even able to land in the middle. Not even a dropletContinue reading “Microspread”
Total Lockdown – A Poem
Locked in. Sprogs at school. Hubby at work. All breathing, mixing, inhaling. And all due to return soon. And here I am. A mum locked in. A sitting duck. Waiting. As always. Copyright owned by Jay Cool Image by Manfred Richter from Pixabay
Test, Track & Trace – Poem
Test, track and trace. A world-beating toddle along. As casual as you like. Slow, even. A wabble. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, November 2020 Image by kinkate from Pixabay
Stumped – A Lockdown Poem
Stopped. Stopped, stopped and more stopped. Standing still, stalling and stumped. Is this me, starting again? Copyright owned by Jay Cool, November 2020 Image courtesy of Pixabay.com

Liked – A Selfish Poem
No-one has liked me for a long, long time. Not that I’m sorry. Not that I’m sad. What must it be to be liked, constantly, repetitively, over and over and over again. So many phone calls, so many texts, so many stats to check. What would be left of the me I like? What wouldContinue reading “Liked – A Selfish Poem”
Somehow – A Lockdown Poem
Somehow satisfying. Soothing, even. One might argue, stimulating. Not in any kind of saucy way, and not steamy, or even – sweaty. Just soothingly satisfying, seeing the seeds and sequins and, sometimes, even a sock – sucked up! Sucked up and suffocated. Sozzled. And. Sorted. Satisfying, somehow.
