Fretful like wind in the chimney breast.
Is the world still out there?
I suppose. In some sense, somewhere.
Guilty, bored, depressed.

I couldn't be arsed getting dressed
Or brush my hair.
Between various meals I stare
At the TV without interest.

Let today be done.
Sweep it away.
Pointless guff.
The hour has run.
Nothing to say.
Enough, enough.

I fancy a day off from doing these So let's keep it brief. Warm sunny day. Builders next door hammering away. Breakfast. Walked into town to Sainsbury's: More gin, rump steak, salad stuff, cheese. A few people on the streets; mostly they Kept their distance. Still, I'd say The lockdown is creaking. Days like these It's hard to resist the pleasures of outdoors. Staying in like me (watching Murder, She Wrote ) Seems the greater crime; the forecast's cold After today, so everyone ignores The wagging fingers. Days when the overcoat Is cast aside, like the vulnerable and the old.
