by Christina Cowling
We are the vaxed, un-vaxed,
the masked, un-masked,
believers or deniers of conspiracy.
Like minded in the measure of our perseverance,
our impatience peaks, declines,
and though we point a shaming finger at each other,
our tongues sharpened like swords divide us,
given no choice, inevitably we ride
the same pandemic wave together.
Christina Cowling is the published author of short stories and poetry. Her love for writing began at six-years of age. Presently a retired senior, she continues to write and resides in Peterborough, Ontario with her husband.
