it can become obsessive
this watching the news in your country

it may be an obsession
this tidying of drawers
in the warm rooms
only

these things do pass the time
while we stay at home
as directed

walking early
so as not to see no one
only that cat
and various squirrels

it may be a habit writing
here
each day

hearing your news
on tug hill

or maybe an act of solidarity james
