Mixed feelings

So i am seventy-two. Back home
After four months in the hospital.
Made use of le Métro (our subway),
Went downtown. Amazed by how young
The people were. 20s and 30s....no
Oldies like me.  (''Go home, old fart'')
In the midst of this pandemic
Where food-courts are vacant
Except  for take-out
Sad considering  that food-courts
Are one of the few places where
Young and old can socialize with
Their peers
In some degree of tranquility.
With COVID it is:  shop, get your
Coffee and get out of here....
Sad days.  Ghost towns, almost.
We can only pray for some sort
Of normalcy to come back
in some near future.
LIFE.
