Social Distancing is a Gilligan’s Island Re-run
Because the CV has cancelled new shows
And yet another Monday night football game
Life is a Gilligan’s Island re-run
Until for non-payment the service is stopped
For we are all on an island of isolation
Even if the Professor builds us a TV
Of palm leaves, cowrie shells, and Ginger’s pins
While Mary Anne crochets a mask for her navel
Maybe a ship will rescue us today
But will it take us back to where we were?

A poem is itself.
