Lockdown

I think I will miss this Lockdown

Not needing an excuse to stay at home

"I'm doing my civic duty,

"I'm not allowed to go shopping

"The garden centre is closed

"I'm protecting you

"I'm protecting myself

"I'm protecting everyone."

What could be better?

"I can meet people without ever going out.

"I've met new people

"More than I ever would

"If life was normal.

"More shopping?

"But I've already been out once this week!"

I know I'm lucky

I'm not on my own

I know that would be tough

Not everyone will have enjoyed

The isolation

The loneliness

The insecurity

The fear

The unknown

Not knowing how long.

But I can't help feeling

That there is much that suits me

And I will miss the Lockdown.
