Episode of History

In this episode of history I see people Cooped up in their houses like birds stuck in a bird cage. I see people Gloomily wearing multicolored malicious masks every time they go outside to a dull, gray, skyscraper-filled city. I see people With baggy eyes that only hear the clicks of their black Chromebook’s keyboard Whilst typing out their answers in the chat of a Zoom meeting. But then I fast forward and I see people Pushing through it like ants at work. I see people Preventing the butterflies in their stomach from getting them feeling down. I see people Who are always finding ways to keep in touch with their closest friends, and new comrades. I see doctors Working hard on helpful vaccines and exciting new cures And helping people in times of need. And then… BOOM! I see the end of the episode. I see people absolutely overjoyed to see their friends back in person. BOOM! I see a colorful classroom Filled with kids chatting together until the teacher tells them to be quiet like a determined librarian. BOOM!

I see families getting together for a celebratory get-together laughing like joyful bees buzzing around BOOM! And I see myself Telling my children and grandchildren, about this episode Of history.
