Lockdown 1

My days start late and end early

Locked in the house

Slumped on the couch

I feel weary

I can’t step out because of fear

Fear of the police and the disease

They say I should wear a mask when I walkout

But it’s so tight I can’t let a breath out

And when I hear someone cough somewhere

In a panic, I look over there

Wondering is this my day?

Or from the virus will I escape?

And head back home

Or will I end up locked up in a dome?

For days till the virus fades.
