A first winter snow
Isolating thoughts of warm
Spring birds are feeding...

I speed-dial her again: “Flatten the curve,
O muse - I’m dry from social distancing.”
“Abundance of caution”, she says. The nerve!
I press redial. “Please, help me write! Dance! Sing!”
Alas, my muse is self-isolating....

Preying on the truth
politics sets the trap
Isolating fact from fiction
always on attack

Their circles non-concentric
each area zero-sum
To tempt your fate with poison bait
—never to become

(The New Room: July, 2022)...

One seeker looks for options
Only to find too many exist
Hoping to narrow the search
They ask abroad
Relenting advisors pelt the seekers brain
Once more isolating them from their goal
Independence from an unappreciative bureaucracy...

isolation from you.
 losing all other delusions.
 an oasis 100 degrees ,
 in this wasteland of
 only pure random thoughts.
 solutions are brief.
 escape relief.
 my skull keeps everything in place.
 the mirror sees the man 
 that’s isolating from you...

Take
A
Krazy kool vacation and be at ease...please calm down
Excellent vibes shower upon you 

Isolating will only make it worse...so, try to be included
there is a light at the end of the tunnel

Enjoy
A
Sweet cup of coffee or even a mug of hot cocoa -
Yum!!!...

Self help does not always help self,
Self indulgence could be hazardous to self,
Self advertising can create ego too big for self. 

Self awareness comes before improving one self,
Self diagnosis does not make a happy self,
Self doubt is no excuse for isolating one self....

Relying on you to much


Putting all my trust in you


Developing some kind of bond


Isolating from the ones i'm close too


Because you want to be ignorant


And very inconsiderate


Well today is brand new


You are unaware of what i will do


,But just know something will


Happen to you


Farewell and good day...

Languishing inside a cell(his demons) so fierce
        and punishing; isolating loneliness pierce
          the core of his misery. Every so often,
      he feels claustrophobic, as if inside a coffin.

I fight the cold hardness from descending upon me
I fight romantic sentimental memories from crushing me
I fight my past influences from blocking fluidness 
I fight wanting to run to her and her and her
I fight the words coming out as advice from leading
I fight the quietness I am so used to from isolating 
I fight this pen from not being honest 
I fight the space to keep it open...

My name is Cousin Paulie,
Average bloke in an average job,
Father to a daughter who was killed by a virus,
while neutropenic from chemotherapy,
Son to an 89 year old dad,
Who would like to see 90 in June,
Staying home and isolating,
A message to those who still play
and risk the lives of the sick and old,
Stay the * at home,
Or we will have our vengeance,
in this life or the next....

Melting down,crossing barriers, breaking out,stepping around.
Pieces fragmenting,character
isolating.
Green-acid,hair follicles,
white is the blank slate,painting blues with reds.
Freaks from a sideshow,
muscles in the sea;
six-packs in a grog-shop,
dancing improperly.
Beguiled by your bounce,sleep-walking this town.
Fine is the white wine,
poisoning the liver,spining on a sixpence....

Man excuses himself
By accusing others
Hurting others tremendously
And building a wall isolating them
Wrapping himself with prolonged hatred
That hurts him eternally
Man excuses himself
By accusing the surroundings too 
Spoiling them innocently 
And hurting himself without knowledge 
Suffering from the pressures and pollutions 
Accumulated by himself
In his own cursed surroundoings...

Aloneness 
metamorphosizes 
into isolating loneliness
with haunting banshee-like screams; 
daily caged inside
perennially mute 
four walls, 
a divorced empty nester.
Inhabiting 
                             a home 
once filled 
with mirth and chatter.
In much happier times, 
                             his refuge; 
now a lonely prison,
Until he steps out 
the front door 
to plenary freedom.

The government say isolate stay inside don't go out your gate.

Cannot go shopping or into the street stay away from family and friends that you meet.

So I sit alone and stare at the floor what should I do if there's a knock on the door. 

Whith all these thoughts going around in my head would it be worth getting up
Out of bed.

Thay say we can go out now but I think I will wait just incase I have to 
    Re isolate....

I go to the city
To be alone…
Distraction
Calling me away
From myself
Isolating my
Memory
Burying my
Thoughts
In endless concrete
Passing 1000 people
Never meeting
One
Never meeting
One
Who will tell me
About myself
Never meeting
One
Who will tell me
What is real
Never meeting
One
Who will ask the question
Why
In my darkest
Most confused
Moments
I go to the city
—to be alone

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)...

It seems easier to do good
and live healthy
if you live in a democratically robust
and multiculturally resonant society.

For the same reasons
it's much easier to bring oneself harm
and slowly disintegrate into isolating despair
when you live in a capitalistic patriarchal
elitist
competing rights make monoculturing might
anthro-centric supremacist society.

EarthRights denied,
also denies internal climate health
as multicultural sacramental wealth....
