(receiving phone texts)—I’ve been “isolating.”
Miss you and the music.
Miss you and the music.
How long, how long (may we predict)
must we continue “isolating?”
I take long, separated walks—
must we continue “isolating?”
I take long, separated walks—
when someone approaches, I balk
into an alley so I can keep “isolating”
(head full of music),
into an alley so I can keep “isolating”
(head full of music),
and when friends visit, I don’t really want to talk
to them—wearing masks for “isolating.”
My long, separated walks
to them—wearing masks for “isolating.”
My long, separated walks
serve me well, I think,
in my steadfast “isolating.”
Miss you and the music.
in my steadfast “isolating.”
Miss you and the music.
Filling my entire urban district
with my sandal prints as I’m “isolating”
on my long, separated walk—
feet tapping our music.
with my sandal prints as I’m “isolating”
on my long, separated walk—
feet tapping our music.
