Poem 1.

Updated: Mar 18, 2022

The Pot.

I wondered, lonely, as a cloud, along the capital river's bank.

Hoping the world would find its equilibrium again.

As the species went viral, people lost themselves and others, but there was

always, The Pot.


A beacon, dimmed for a while, but shining out a beam of hope.

A whispered promise, "I'll be back soon".

A dream of society, reinvented and reunited, but there was always, The Pot..


And in this brave and cowardly new world,

Where normal things changed in a flash, never to return,

There always was, and there should always be, The Pot.
