Strangers and the night

Strangers and the night, these pavements are wide,

a sip of beer, some hot noodle soup alongside,

smile at faces I am not seen, ride on roads that I’ve not been,

walls grown taller than my TV screen,

a plane window, a train window, a calm lake with a bridge,

or a fridge?

calculator and sign languages to bargain fakes,

or is it sub-titles? staying home like the head doctor said,

this sofa is good, and I am half awake,

sane, insane or opaque?

Wait......

What year is it today?

Staying at Home, Mantin, November, 2020
