If you’re unfamiliar with haiku, it’s a form of Japanese poetry that contains three lines — the first line consists of five syllables, second line seven syllables, and the third line five syllables.

We roam the town streets
I pass someone familiar
Who was that masked man?

Crazy ideas
Mainline Clorox, kill COVID
‘Course, you’ll be dead too

PPE for all
It’s apocalypse season
Hazmat suits on sale

New reality
Car dealer ad: “Wash your hands”
Filmed in a basement

We’re all OCD
Paranoia is okay
Was that a cough? Nooooo!

Everything’s closed now
All the hair salons
We’ll all be uncoiffed
