The crazy old hermit

Is how I sometimes feel

Anxiety and Amazon Prime

can keep me locked away

for days with no end in sight

Sometimes

When I go out

There's drive-thru

It helps keep people at a distance

Sometimes

Still

I love sitting in restaurants

or

Busy supermarkets

People are so wrapped up in self

It's easy to feel like an illusion

or apparition

In even the most crowded room
