The New Normal

The new normal

The new normal

Remembers doctors saying

This is your new normal

What you felt beforehand was different

We need to work on what you have now

The new normal

Five people at a time in the store

Family of four, your in the door

Family of more, too big for the store

Split up no more, gathering together

Family fun sounds like a pun

The new normal

Is odd at best

Still trying to figure out

Where to step

Do I wear my mask outside at all times

Does this neck gator

Make me look fat

Did I just go shopping for face wear!

The new normal,

Sucks!

Can’t be there for family

In the hospital, for tests, or doctor visits

Standing outside just to pick up my coffee

Mobile order dining

Sitting outside to eat

No option for an inside seat

The new normal

Isn’t normal

It’s uncomfortable,

But we should work together

To change the new normal

Into the normal

Where we all live

Comfortable and happy
