Outside
If you don’t have a yard
Or a terrace or deck,
(And, if moving, I’d strongly
Suggest that you check)
Just make sure there’s a park
Or a riverwalk, so
When you’re feeling cooped up,
You’ll have someplace to go.
For a window is not
Quite like being outside,
Where the air (fresh or not)
Somehow seems to provide
A connection to life,
Which I find that I need
To boost up my morale
(And for me’s guaranteed).
Yet I have to admit,
One exception I’ve got,
Will come later this week –
I’ll stay in when it’s hot!
