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.
