Covid Cravings

This morning,

I was out, picking up supplies,

for a project,

for work.

I was on our main drag,

here in Verdun,

Wellington street.

I was indulging in a coffee,

I was making a video,

for Facebook.

I was getting some air,

and sunshine,

before the scorching,

weather,

manifested itself.

And I saw the,

Sushi time sign.

Instantly,

I was salivating.

I have had many,

cravings,

during the pandemic,

for food,

for spontaneity,

for company,

for hugs,

for sex,

for on tap beer,

for museum visits.

For lunch on my own,

with a book,

and a bunch of strangers,

in a food court,

having,

Lebanese food,

Sushi,

Pho soup.

I only seem to eat,

these foods,

when I am out,

and about,

shopping,

hanging out,

with myself.

I will remember,

the Covid era,

as one of great,

personal,

growth,

professionally,

creatively,

and in more,

intimate ways.

Some lights,

have gone on,

and lit,

unknown trails,

undiscovered countries,

slow throbbing cravings.

What a ride it is,

eh?

Take care everyone.

Later girls,

BB
