A Poem a Day (283): Lockdown for your bones

 
Lockdown for your bones
 
Is it a cage you wish for
in the present tense?
 
Lockdown for your bones?
You still have the key
 
to enter, exit if you please.
Not so much a physical prison
 
as one for your mind,
nostalgic for familiar faces
 
to talk, discuss, comfort
in person. Tech steps up,
 
offers a way to converse
or simply check in.
 
So we’re not as alone as we think.
We’re not really alone at all.
