I am sitting here

in my briefs

there is no sense in

getting dressed anymore

 

I cannot go anywhere

or do anything

without a permit

from the authorities

 

I am locked down

with all the other prisoners

so I remain in place

enjoying the fresh air

circulating around my parts

 

I am under house arrest

but with my shorts on

playing it a little loose

 

If this is ever over

and the Lock-down ends

I may just stay in my briefs

permanently

 

like most conversations

and most poems

 

it's best to be brief.
