The fever dreams are starting
To get weird again
As we enter the time of year
It was one year ago
When we had no idea what
We were in for
And in many ways still don’t
Except more Kafkaesque
As labyrinthine guidelines
Ebb into nothingness
Some are not throwing away
Their shots while others
Still pack the bistros and bars
With one open window
To claim outdoor dining status
A way to stay in business
Maybe the new people will
Figure something out
To make us more compassionate
Perhaps even wear a mask
Starting out as they have to
As we did a year ago
And continue to since then
Relentlessly from scratch
