Confounded confinement

but if there is food

and shelter

be a Confucian not in confusion


Or finger point the moon

only an indication not a syndication

go burn the raft

but

learn to swim - don't be daft


Window to moon [a noun note]

384,400 km - 30 earths away

celestial distancing


Window to moon[at the neighbours - a verb]

Bummer!!!

social distancing - only elbow room?


ah so


just be a rhino in mind

don't ask

who shot the poisoned arrow





notes:

Buddhist[raft/rhino] and Confuscian texts juxtaposed with colloquialisms
