After New Normal, What?

Rating: 5.0


With no return to normal in sight,
we've started to say new normal.

It won't be new normal
long enough to be called normal,
so, with a downturn in new normal,
we'd say what?

New new?

The time we'd say that
would be shorter.
The tipping point reached,
of The Great Inflation,
new new new we'd now say -
and add more and more news
each day.

new normal, New new? new new new we'd now say - each day.... //.... The poem puts across the dilemma we are facing in the present pandemic situation which gets more and more complex each day. The term 'new normal' is a euphemism. Thanks.
