Simplifying
(the little thought-about aspects of Covid )
The isolating element
Of Covid’s impact
Can have something of a betterment
In potential of the time that’s spent:
Fewer contacts, calls returned, lunches met;
Fewer obligations set;
Fewer places you might go to,
Such as shopping malls paraded through.
Oh, the benefits of staying in.
Throwing sins of wasteful time
Into the garbage bin of waste and slime.
All’s a means of motivation, inspiration,
Open to inventiveness of one’s creation
Which, in turn means making choices
Truer to the inner voices
Waiting for that inner muse
To lift you to a coziness
From a booziness, wooziness or busy-ness.
There is principle to hold to:
Everything you wish to do,
Though hard to chew
Can end up good for you.
Simple though not always presto
Which, my friend
Is, you could say, the simple, simplifying end.
