Sheltering In Place Is Not Working
I never thought anyone could be that annoying
But we never had to be quarantined before
It seemed like ten years
So far it is ten days
And I am ready to tear my hair out
Week six
I thought we loved each other
I can barely look at him
He put the last roll of toilet paper in his bathroom
I am so over this pandemic
Week twelve
Here he comes again
The slapping of his bare feet has annoyed me
I can barely stand to hear him patter into the kitchen
He jumps when I call his name
He understands then
It is just a matter of time
Until his death.
