It's funny: when I saw the associated picture, I thought the poem might be about getting stuck on an exact change highway. Maybe in some sense, it is!

These are nicely formed quatrains, using an xaxa scheme, with no enjambment. The fourth stanza is especially strong, and I love the alliteration; very lyrical.

Good luck with this well-written poem!

This reads smoothly, nice rhyme and meter. I would have never guessed you were mandated to include the six words in the prompt. Mostly I like that despite it all you maintain optimism. We all need that.--Karenina

A very up-beat poem about our situation. You have made good use of the words that were provided and your rhyming is very good. I like the feeling of optimism in the last verse. Things will never be the same as they were, but we will have a new normal.
