Activity 2- Analyze the lines of the poem, then answer the questions below. The Virus By Katy Lyons Here I sit I - In complete isolation. All of us separated by the invisible.
All of us separated by the invisible. I would reach out to you,
But a simple elbow touch wouldn't do. Lysol spray has become perfume,
Hand sanitizer has become hand lotion, The news has become the bible. A simple virus,
Whose name resembles royalty, Has done the unthinkable.
Destroyed businesses,
And has ruined relationships.
The death toll rises, And hope decreases.
What to do?
Everyone scrambles to find a solution. Maybe it is found in the empty grocery shelves,
Or maybe in the fear of going outside. Online assignments plague the uninfected. But I believe,
We will all get through this together.
We will all get through this,
Just not with each other.
My heart has been with NYC lately, I can't imagine how scary it must be up there right now. Madison and I are praying for this to all be over as fast as possible!

Poem;
"The Virus" by Katy Lyons
Here I sit
In complete isolation.
All of us separated by the invisible. I would reach out to you,
But a simple elbow touch wouldn't do. Lysol spray has become perfume,
Hand sanitizer has become hand lotion, The news has become the bible. A simple virus,
Whose name resembles royalty, Has done the unthinkable.
Destroyed businesses,
And has ruined relationships.
The death toll rises, And hope decreases.
