isolation

isolation can be bliss.

never leaving
the confines of the house.

the couch.
the chair where you read,
and sit.

why bother with the outside
world.

why go anywhere.

how nice it is to simply be
at home.
the open window.

why leave when everything you
need or want
is here.

why bother,
as you gaze out the window,

settled in
with memories of what was,
seeing all
with a long distance stare.
