Ms. Dana Stangel-Plowe “My Extended Family Chats in Quarantine”
A Found Poem, April 2020
You match the dog
Great to actually see you
Not in the city
Let’s walk tomorrow
Good article
Keep your devices charged
Is this all really happening?
You are all overreacting
Rockland Lake closed starting tomorrow
Good morning from Westchester
NJ is going to follow suit
Going to run stadiums
She’s getting to be a such a big girl
This is cute
This is for the dog lovers
We still do not know how many are truly infected
Good that it worked out
Would rather be teaching in school
I’ve been up since 4:40
Now we wear masks
How are we gonna do this?
How was your seder?
How was Easter?
What do you need from CVS
We can’t get grocery deliveries
You can also heat up some chili if you prefer
Wiping out all the progress that has been made
My absolute pleasure
I worry about having to decontaminate
Sounds like the New York Times
He’s much much better
Pad Thai
Mental health problems, addictions
Keep your jaw relaxed
I dont think I can write a 5 page paper on it
Don’t ruin your look because of this
RIP my dignity
It’s where our family is sharing
War is too important to be left to the generals
Love you all
Give up waiting as a state of mind
Can you make me coffee
Can you cut the chicken please
Stay strong
Maybe we’ll be back in 2-4 weeks
Bernie got his bread lines
Can you get avocado and tortillas
Do you think they have toilet paper
Can we please make the switch to Spotify
When is dinner
Hang in there
I’ve read his books
We made a donation
I have a crush on Cuomo
Your sister told me
Pizza and beets
I’m not cooking
I’m sorry you think I was impatient
How are things there?
I don’t care ask dad
Come into the present moment
Would we get to transfer playlists
Ridiculous
It’s our reality.
Come on out for a wave
There’s chicken in the fridge
Read this one
It’s not so bad
Is everyone feeling ok
Do you need anything
Everyone used up my words
Sorry that’s what I meant
Will be interesting to see what happens
I would never
That’s ridiculous
Do you need anything?
Also creating a queue is much easier
Don’t make a trip out for us
Good night my sweet
We have enough food
