BLUES IN TWOS (1)

Guernsey is due to move out of 'lockdown' this coming week and islanders will find themselves faced with the 'new-normal', whatever that might be. 
Will they be in proper shape to do so?

LOCK-DOWN BLUES

What masterpieces, symphonies,

will be revealed when lock-down ends?

What timeless tomes of poetry

or video-photography

have been engendered at this time,

when to so many for so long,

the gift of time was granted them?

Some brand new Renoir or Van Gogh?

Vivaldi, Mozart redefined?

Or will the world just get more dogs

performing silly tricks or fools

dressed up as vegetables or fruit?

Or will this unsought time just be

a total waste while waists grow fat?

I think we may depend on that.
