Opinion | 10 haikus: me, you and pandemic blues

Madelyn Johnson, junior screenwriting major

1. On blue light glasses: 

No headache for me 

But reflection of my screen 

Everyone can see

2. On double masking: 

Too much sweating and 

I can’t breathe but at least you 

can’t see my “maskne”

3. On superspreaders: 

Chapman’s hottest frat

is KNE or Kovid-

Nineteen Expected 

4. On @chapmansuperspreaders Instagram: 

Like naked Cersei 

Shame, shame, shame. Learn your lesson 

And keep others safe.

5. On Zooming from bed: 

This is my bed. You 

can see where I sleep. Is this 

real intimacy? 

6. On on-campus housing: 

Roomie does not snore, 

but I can’t stand the sound of 

his ventilator. 

7. On online flirting: 

We've never talked, and 

your camera’s always off

But let's fall in love 

8. On solitude: 

Physical touch is 

a bust. I can’t sit with my

deep, dark, scary thoughts.

9. On vaccinations: 

The vaccine has come 

We can finally be done 

Praising Big Pharma 

10. On legs: 

Head, torso and wrists

If Zoom can’t see them, do my 

legs even exist?
