America the Beautiful

America the Beautiful

muscle cars

empty bars

hotels with too many vacancies

room service suspended

drinks are outside of the house

people are inside their fever

burning rubber

towards heaven

they weren't warned of last call

and the "do not disturb" signs

were ripped off their doors

by angry maids

who are jobless

then penniless

then toothless

starving

living 

in muscle cars

their lives suspended

This is so harsh! . . . & an honest look at the parts of this socioeconomic decay that nobody mentions. There's so much ugliness underneath the covers & you've thrown 'em back for a big ugly look (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Summed up the current situation well Jacob. We are flat out building, unaffected, could be a different story when all of the redundancies and businesses closing kick in after the first quarter of next year !
Hope you are keeping well.
Do you think this site will save itself from the Chinese influx ?

Thank you for your kind review, Gee.
and in answer to your question...I have written Charlie about the Asian smattering on the board, which is just ridiculous...I hope he does something about it. thanks...I am staying as healthy as possible...still playing tennis a couple times a week but otherwise, masks, social distancing and mostly just staying home away from it all, teaching from home, virtually.
take care of you....

Covid has and is still taking its toll. It is like Ebola, eating away at society from the inside. You capture much of the 'nature' of our pandemic here Jacob!
