Life Goes On

COVID-19 marked its one-year anniversary as a global pandemic on March 11, 2021. And on March 17, it will be one year since I’ve been working from home because of the dread virus.

For some reason, I started thinking that as bad as the pandemic has been on the rest of us, it must be a grind — okay, bad Freudian pun-slip there — for the sad and lonely gigolo.

So when I received a prompt from a magazine editor to write something on the theme “Life Goes On” in 50 words, either a poem or ‘flash fiction,’ I could not resist.

The result is here — 50 words exactly if you include the title, “Life Goes On.”

And here, for your musical entertainment, are the two versions of Just a Gigolo still ringing in my ears.
