Inside These Four Walls
Inside these four walls:
a single daisy in a huge field,
Inside these four walls: a lone raindrop in a storm,
Inside these four walls:
a fox separated from its pack,
Inside these four walls: a duck away from the pond.
Inside these four walls: as open as a labyrinth,
Inside these four walls:
as calm as an airport in a blizzard,
Inside these four walls:
as empty as a five-star restaurant,
Inside these four walls: as free as a prison.
Inside these four walls:
some were marching in protests for a change,
Inside these four walls: some were voting
in politics and elections,
Inside these four walls:
some were stopping bushfires,
Inside these four walls: some were evacuated
due to floods and landslides.
Inside these four walls: longing to dress up,
Inside these four walls: longing to touch,
Inside these four walls: longing to see faces,
Inside these four walls: longing to go out.
Inside these four walls: sick of covered faces,
Inside these four walls: sick of constant sanitizing,
Inside these four walls: sick of two-meter signs,
Inside these four walls: sick of computer screens.
Inside these four walls: soon there will be a party,
Inside these four walls: soon there will be hugs,
Inside these four walls:
soon there will be school corridors,
Inside these four walls:
soon there will be crowded places.
Inside these four walls: not for much longer.
Time Always Getting Slower
Every day, time’s always getting slower
Is the clock even moving?
Every time passes by
It’s getting slower
When was the last time
I was surrounded by people?
Time is always getting slower
My brain slows down
as the hands make a click
Wondering when the next one will occur
Am I crazy or has time slowed down?
I’m on an endless loop
Cycling
Repeating
Life will never be the same again
I used to go shopping every week
It’s been 6 months
Having to wear a mask
Keeping hand sanitiser and
staying 2 meters away
Family, friends have been separated
Will normality come?
Shops are closed
Markets are down
Businesses have run out
Online is the new life
Shopping, eating, watching and communicating
Are all reliant on technology
Shops are empty
Soap and shampoo and tissues have run out
Never thought this would happen
It has been so long
Feeling like 1000 years
But now it’s finally coming to an end.
