There has been some debate in the Sci-Fi poetry community over whether this should be considered a speculative poem. It hinges on the interpretation of the word “downtime.” A mundane retreat or some time travel at work here? I appreciate that the image doesn’t have to take a side.
The image perfectly matches your poem! Kudos. Scary times.
Thank you for commenting, Peggy. Yes, it certainly is. Stay Safe.
Great!
