We can’t go out so what to do?
How do we spend our time?
Imagination, racing thoughts
My brain on overtime.

There’s gardening, painting, DIY
Non urgent jobs to do,

They can hurt you
or nurture you.

My words can be uplifting
life shifting,
even spiteful,	
some needing decrypting.

Answers to clues he didn't have yet.
With searching high, then searching low, 
This is his task he would undergo.

Down one road, then down another,

to read the overdose of alliteration,...

Only to come crashing down with the rising levels of pollution
So I’m...
