Like a Magnet

The sunshine, like a magnet, Tries to draw me back outside Though after my pre-sunrise walk, My preference is to hide. Within these walls I’ve made my place And, in relaxing wear, I’ve found enough to do so I Don’t need to go out there. Yet when the sunlight dapples All the buildings ‘cross the street, That old familiar tug begins And brings me to my feet. I find some socks and bundle up, My mask from eyes to chin, And head outdoors to feel the sun On just an inch of skin.
