It’s finally dark…
Wake up with the sun
feeling like a prisoner
another long day
Looking for excuses
to stay safe inside
it’s too cold,
it’s too icy…
tired of playing
the same ol’ game
“catch me if you can”
corona has no shame
feed the cats
my prime concern
then grinding java beans
fragrant and delightful
a lift that makes me smile
lifting the blinds
just a little
just enough
felines sun bathe
yet not enough
to peek inside my lair
just enough to see outside
watching the same people
day after day
day after day
walking their lady lapdogs
jogging to the park
some walking hand in hand
day after day
same old shit,
different day
one, two, three hours pass
still finding reasons to stay inside
brushing my cat
petting the other
blessed my friends are here
keeping me sane
binging today
on SVU…Law and Order
stories about perpetrators
victims of abuse
tales remind me sometimes
of stories that I’ve heard
the only consolation on TV
the bad guy may get caught
the victim may finally heal
live sort of happy ever after.
another hour, it’s quiet
the cats are sleeping
bellies full
the streets are empty too
no walkers now
just cars parked in front
a visitor here
another guest there
not sure if it is illegal
but keeping someone sane
outweighs any Legault law
so long as curfews followed
such visits heal the soul
tired of playing
the same ol’ game
“catch me if you can”
corona has no shame
it’s finally dark
yet not too late
last minute souls
who brave the streets
to get a dozen eggs
it’s finally dark
we’re all shut in
it’s passed eight o’clock
it’s finally dark
survived another day…
tired of playing
the same ol’ game
“catch me if you can”
corona has no shame

Same here with a dose of icy roads, sleet and maybe snow tonight. Not warm in Texas. I had to quit watching the SUV Law and Order. Hit too close to home.
