JanPoWriMo 5

Never underestimate 
the power of a year 
passing with little more 
than dread remaining 
in stasis as recollection 
takes you back to what 
seems to be ongoing 
epiphany insurrection
this time legislation in 
lieu of private jet riots
democracy on the brink
why not stay in house 
for five instead of ten days
this will not be on the test 
voting is either right or
it does not matter who counts 
each one is on their own
to decide to look away 
as the lifeline goes vertical 
extending the viral horizon
sunsetting indefinitely
