Toy Graduation Ducks

In another era – two weeks ago –
I ordered a box of graduation ducks
To be given to the high school seniors
As is my custom, for a bit of fun

But now…

The ducks have not arrived; the schools are closed
The stores are open, but their shelves are bare
The students are dispersed, only god knows where
Maybe we won’t see all of them again

Is this a time to think about toy ducks?
Yes

Even in the small things, or perhaps especially in the small things, we must carry on.
