How

How it asks each one of us, how is your lockdown.

How patronising, this supernumerary microbe.

How indifferent to our many doctorates.

How do you do, it says and then says, good night.

How came this gamechanger amidst our midst.

How and Why Wonder Books don’t seem to know.

How long is a piece of string, how peace of mind.

How many windows can be opened on a screen.

How to apply for a Centrelink claim.

How the West was won and then infected.

How Kemo Sabe now keep two metres distance.

How to complete a sonnet with lines from London.

O how the wheel becomes it! sang Ophelia.

Howl, howl, howl went Lear in a plague year.
