De-Confinement
The decree has disturbed my
desire to isolate myself in my cocoon. Loneliness
is now public policy, its armor pressed
with tenderness of genuine sadness.
Let my soul take command
without your rude intrusion,
lining up my door with
involuntary flowers, compromising
my ability to rejoice my seclusion.
Tangled reason and law
are for sale, of course
if I had a kid
even a cat or a dog, I
would venture pity on them
and obey my new unfreedom,
but my mind is made up in
favor of the wise men who
spell deity correctly and
are unobstructed by passion
for safety over nerves of
Liberty. The sumptuous
petri fish of restrictions is
never served under their
olive trees, for they know
only too well this virus
is not crowned by God,
only by men, who have
special eyes for misery.
