Quarantine Sonnet

How do I waste time in quarantine? Let me count the ways.

Compelled to see each news conference, the latest analysis.

Watching mediocre movies long into the night.

Too many dreams, sleeping late until sunshine is bright.

I waste my time in worry, which argument is right?

Reading FB comments that cause tempers to ignite.

Counting calories through the day to earn WW point praise

Then caving to cheesecake, eaten quickly without grace .

Creating comic clipart and memes that have my face.

Applying stats on flattened curves so I can shelter in place.

Attempting to calm fears and doubts with social distance laughter 

 

I shall but love this quarantine, if gratitude follows thereafter.
