i want to stay home

there is no where
you need to go.
no one you need to see.
clapping
for others is not your thing.
you like music
you like the theater, but
you have no desire
anymore to stand
in line, to find a seat
and wait
to be entertained.
the coliseum holds no
interest.
the crowds,
the weather.
there are dozens of reasons
that will keep
you home. you like
people, but too many
in one place
distresses you.
it's okay to say no now.
it took a long
time. but you're there.
