Poem- New Life

New Life, by Rachel W.

Torture for an extrovert. 

Seventh day in the same t-shirt.

PJ's on 'till one p.m.

Please don't wake me up again.

Homeschool? Normal.

Math? Too hard.

TV? ….rather play in the front yard

Forget the new shoes. 

No one to see them.

Maybe in three months….

Except they’ll no longer fit me.

Church on the couch….well this one's new.

Long as your muted, you can fart 'till you're blue.

Zoom meetings for hours….

Cramped in that chair.

Soccer through a screen?

Never been there.

Football is gone...well that's one relief!

Basketball cancelled….March Madness...good grief!

Olympics are only once every four years.

But naturally its cancelled (oh, my worst fears!)

Moral of the story…...my old life is ending.

I'm just sitting here waiting for it to start mending.
