Ode to Quarantine Here, among the beige walls, this large cell that entraps me, a room that faces east is my new safe zone now. Surrounded by vibrant colored sticky notes with endless tasks scribbled, empty Gatorade bottles, and my cat’s constant purring. I cannot escape the news no matter how hard I try— statistic after statistic. Only you: can disrupt school, work, and families to this extreme level. Only you can bring more and more people together in a way that has never been seen before. --Sarah
