YOU KNOW YOU’RE ANTI-SOCIAL WHEN YOU PREFER A LIFE IN QUARANTINE

I spent 14 days in quarantine which i

Saw as being potentially 20160 minutes

Of just sitting staring at my four walls

Worried that slowly I’d be going out of

My mind but it passed easily in a haze

Of smoking words and films and music

And drinking and sleeping and just

Generally every damn little thing I live

For in this life, well almost…

Because within 20 minutes of it being

Over I was back in the pub drinking

Beer with tequila chasers toasting my

Freedom but as the night wore on and I

Began to look around it struck me that

It had all changed as I wasn’t sat at the

Bar and the scene was nothing short of

Catatonic. The night crawled to its end

And the next day I rose early but what

Can you expect when the bars throw

Everyone out at 10pm and the thought

Of work came on my horizon for the

First time in almost a month. It came

And went and I won’t bore my reader

With any details beyond that as at last

I slept and slept, 10 hours the first night

And 9 the next but then came some

Free time and the possibility of being

Out there…

So out I went and I walked around

And saw all the things I thought I’d

Missed for the month I’d been away

But now I just wish I had the excuse

Of quarantine so I could never go out

There again…
