this is the end, my only friend, the end

i go through my phone
looking for someone to have fun with.
anyone.
bored out of my mind.
i'm pacing like a lunatic
in my house.
but everyone's busy.
covid they say.
have you been tested?
i'm scared to go into the city.
the riots.
the protests.
the politics.
the weather, it's too hot, too windy,
too rainy.
it's getting dark.
everyone has suddenly become
old and scared.
wanting to stay put in their
own cocoon. 
the world has finally slowed
almost to a stop.
what the hell.
i put some Doors
on the stereo, the pandora,
the spotify, the youtube, 
the xm, whatever
it is that
suddenly brings music into
my house and i sit in the big
chair by the window
and wait.
