  • NOBLE POETRY  

  • I’M QUARANTINED

    I’m quarantined 

    Time passes slow

    And I’m running 

    Out of dough

    How far does a dollar go?

    What the future holds 

    I don’t know?

    Life’s become a real shit show

     

    I’m quarantined

    Can’t leave my house

    I’m keeping company

    With a mouse

    I’m about to get

    Myself soused

    If God willing 

    I can stay housed

     

    Thousands share 

    My sentiment

    I can’t pay my

    Monthly rent

    And my landlord

    Seems hell-bent

    In kicking me out

    He’s thatl intent

     

    I don’t bother

    Getting dressed

    Speaking truthfully 

    I’m too depressed

    And I don’t have

    A job no less

    But that you might 

    Well have guessed
