Lockdown
I dreamt a dream 2020 would be a regular year
Until some twat ate a bat and threw a wrench in the gears
Now I'm sitting like a fat fuck sweating in a sauna
Stone cold sober since I quit drinking and smoking marijuana
Handshakes were standard, hugs were cool, flirtation continued on schedule
Instead of social interaction being placed on a pedestal
Now friendships are pixelated, and we're searching for who to blame
And 6 feet is standard distance instead of my username
Time was always in short supply, now he's here in abundance
Except for those targeted by the microscopic tyrant among us
Communication hampered, expressions censored within masks
Separation anxiety caused by invisible prison glass
I'm limbo-ing past old ladies as I'm shopping for groceries
Praying to the Gods of toilet paper I get some, hopefully?
Jumping Like cats on hot tin roofs at a single cough
Sending prayers for nearest and dearest; every one I'm thinking of
My thermometer spends so much time in my mouth; I'm charging rent
And how great I can watch Netflix until my heart's content?
A sad state of affairs when a hermit like me misses human company
Sharing an umbrella in the rain is a forgotten luxury
It may sound trite but the human race is stronger standing together
But we can't shelter each other in this viral stormy weather
...see you all next year :)
