The poetic city: “The Evening News 4/28/20”

Old television; yet, is it the same news? (Photo: Wiki)

The Evening News 4/28/20

 
 
Worst case scenario’s flood the screen.
 
They predict tidal waves of suffering, 
then death. 
 
What’s the point? 
 
Why struggle to survive 
under circumstances so grim. 
 
What’s the point! 
 
Perhaps it’s to experience, once more,
the exquisiteness of life in full bloom. 
 
One never knows when such moments 
will arise. 
 
They come in many forms, many ways,
often unexpected.  
 
One never knows when it will be 
your last chance to dance, 
 
So, get up!
