This is Medicine

Written By Benny Bowden

Last Friday,
I made a new friend,
And I’m still thinking about it.

“It’s Amanda, right?”
I asked as we parted ways.
“Yep, but it’s Brown Sugar after five!”

A big belly laugh,
Burst from deep within my soul.
She laughed along with me.

Pure joy,
Radiating from these two strangers.
This is medicine,
A cure,
For two years of pandemic isolation.
