Distancing

Sitting, stalling, sleeping late

Waking, washing, gaining weight

Endless ways to spend the days

Hampered only by malaise

Frozen dinners, paltry beer

Employment status still unclear

Boredom, worry, anxious news

Party-goers still obtuse

--

Friends and family safe and sound

Music, books, and art abound

Time to self-reflect and learn

Sharing hopes and fears in turn

Neighbor helping neighbor still

Community with iron will

Tested, tried, survived before

We can wait a little more
