The original “C” word
never spoken in polite company –
Cancer
or was it c-nt.

Now C words are commonplace –
Covid and Corona
contaminated
confinement
contracted
casualty
corpses.

Other words have become ubiquitous –
unprecedented
self-isolation
proliferation
quarantine
pandemic
Zoom.

Yet even more are in short supply –
hospital beds
clorox wipes
toilet paper
respirators
vaccines
PPE’s.

We’re waiting for a choir of preferable C words-
cure
change
certainty
community
congregate
containment.

A chorus of voices singing of
calm
creation
creativity
continuity
celebration
contentment……
