Timothy Mcguire Poet Free verse

Dont Think of Me

Don't talk to me
I'm only your neighbor
You stay in your house
I'll stay in mine

Don't look me in the eye
I don't want to see you
Or even look in your direction
I'll rush by

Don't bother knocking
On my door
If I need to talk to you
I'll send you a text

Don't think of me
You are not in my world
I only want to exist
Electronically

Lindsay Laurie March 24, 2020 at 6:58 PM G'day Timothy … It was the modern way before this virus, now it's the compulsory way for us here anyhow - thank you Timothy - Lindsay Timothy Mcguire March 26, 2020 at 9:13 PM You are right

Caren Krutsinger March 20, 2020 at 10:55 PM It is amazing to me how little we speak to each other with voices now. Preferring to tap words out onto electronic devices. Well done, timely. Timothy Mcguire March 24, 2020 at 10:26 AM So true Caren thank you

Jennifer Proxenos March 17, 2020 at 12:32 PM We have new neighbors and they are really good company and fun. My husband and I went out and did stock buying, we bought a lot but please dear God this virus finishes before our stocks do! We are going to go into close down at home now. Blessings Jennifer Timothy Mcguire March 17, 2020 at 3:07 PM Hang in there Jennifer, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Line Gauthier March 14, 2020 at 12:27 PM See~ you did a virus poem after all, Timothy. I feel the same. I'm self-quarantining myself as well. Timothy Mcguire March 16, 2020 at 5:14 PM It wasn't my thought but it fits.

Tom Cunningham March 14, 2020 at 6:21 AM So true Timothy, people spend far too much time on Facebook etc, I saw the light, can't remember the last time I went on it. Stay safe Tom
