All I see are walls
Four of them
Windows to the outside world
I cannot step foot in
I see hardwood floors
Instead of grass or concrete
I try to envision a sky
The faucet leaking, that’s my river
The fan is a wind that blows through my hair
Not needing the sunlight to live
My fake plants are my garden
I’m in paradise
I am my only acquaintance
I’m a little shy the first time we meet
But now there is no thought she can hide
That I don’t know
I smile while the mirror frowns
There’s no way to escape me
Her
A cell without bars, a lock and key
Right in front of me
But the enemy is seen and in reach
Just go outside
There are remnants of it
the particles the virus
Today is tomorrow
Tomorrow was yesterday
Time has stopped
But I’m still going
