Pandemic

Sweet, Suzy Q

exclaimed: "Oh! My favorite song!"

She reached her hand out to

put two fingers on the knob.

She threw her head back and laughed.

The wind kissed her soft skin.

She put on her favorite bubblegum-pink nail polish

and wore her cutest, tiniest mini skirt, her favorite. 

It was spring time

and the pandemic just hit the United States.

Trees were in bloom.

Flower petals whisked across the street.

Traffic wasn't bad. 

She was loving this moment.

She smiled and turned to eye empty parking lots. 

The clouds were plentiful, 

the sky baby blue. 

"I just love this song."

Suzy Q popped a mint in her mouth then 

took in a big, cool breath 

that chilled down her neck

right into her chest.

She missed her friends and family.

But, she couldn't think about that right now;

her favorite song was on.

The beat picked up.

She reflected back on her childhood

that was filled with people and filled with life.

More blossoms crossed the street.

She looked down at her legs

peaking out of her skirt. 

She intentionally wore it

to cheer herself up 

from how lonely she felt before. 

The beat picked up even faster.

More empty parking lots passed by her view. 

"Oh! Another car."

She felt tempted to wave.

She was feeling great.

She looked up at the sky when the beat hit it's climax. 

Then, raced her red car up the bridge.

That's when she flew.

Soaring into the baby blue sky,

she disappeared into the clouds to start anew.
