Inside Job, sadly
She had everything buttoned down
Stay at home office work
Vegetarian
Manageable weight loss
Most weeks.
Springer spaniel
Named Benji.
Fresh air walks
Twice daily.
Reading Alice Munro fiction.
Visiting Facebook “friends”.
But really no
Social skills
Or warm actual
Elbow rubbing
Round a table.
Singing unadorned
In some choir.
Playing some basketball
At the Park.
Remember parks
Before COVID?
Yeah me too.
