How long is long enough.

We’ve all seen

what weeks of quarantine

can do.

Closer family ties,

neighborhood cooperation

and service.

A deeper caringness expressed.

A drop into bottom lines,

releasing some have-to’s.

How long is long enough

to let these new insights

and patterns

remain

after the quarantine lifts.

That’s when we’ll know

how long was enough.
