Preset? Prefix?

Something about New Year's resolutions

should I leave them alone

tackle a new annual's preset idea

or dump it as I skim a stone

I will decide tonight at witching hour

somewhere in an earthly zone.

Covid encore

Just before Covid 

the world was at least moving

rich or poor or healthy or unhealthy

we all lived with ourselves

with or without fear

with or without war

with or without ad nauseam

- why - reader - fill the blanks

or take the imagination on a trip

a cruise a holiday or a trek somewhere

Just after Covid

the world is becoming fearful

two years into this number 19 -

alpha via delta to omicron variety

the rich got vaccinated the poor 

left to fend for themselves as always

deniers galore filed the media

and perpetuated lies and videos

you again -reader- think about that

just will there truly be mass immunity

or do we have to live like this

with jumping to another alphabet?

    

A sharpei

A wrinkle in my face

when I was fifteen

grew to a wall of

crevices and furrows 

when I am  older

There is some things

I can do like sleep

and moisturizers

 but genetically doomed

to  show the world

my shar pei visage!
