Analysis of Isolation



Alone but not lonely
I sit
Day in and day out
Not counting the days
Not aware of the time.

I amuse myself
Argue on forums
Play facebook games
Sing off key
Delight in my dog.

No touch
No hugs
Twenty-one months
No face-to-face smiles
Expressions obliterated.

Pandemic
Scary word
Contagion
Sickness
Death.

In my bubble
I am immune
