Artist Alan Nakagawa’s project involving haikus about social distancing includes a funny take on just how blurred boundaries can become while under lockdown. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Another Lockdown Haiku”
I was sharing some haikus earlier collected by Alan Nakagawa.
This one’s by Beverly Haritz.
The telephone rings.
I put on my mask to answer.
I’m losing my mind.
You know, we’re all still figuring out how to use masks.
That’s right, yeah.
Hello?
I can’t believe how often I forget my mask.
You know, I step out of the house and I’m like, oh, how am I not remembering this?
It’s like you’ve got this mantra, phone, wallet, keys, and why is it mask automatically tacked on the end of that list?
Yeah, I started hanging mine from the rearview mirror.
Yeah, I need to shove a couple in every glove box, you know, and backpack and everything.
We absolutely want to hear from you.
What are your haikus?
They can be about anything.
Please share them and we’ll pick some perhaps and share them on the air, 877-929-9673 or email words@waywordradio.org.
