It's said the power to be alone

Is managed by very few

But I'm content to be on my own

And don't find it hard to do

 

Very handy when extremis exists

And the sheep instinct kicks in

To contribute to the plague that persists

With its deadly rictus grin

 

I lean out of my window here

To watch the world go by

And manage a silent heartfelt cheer

As above the birds still fly

 

Occasionally the buzzer sounds

And a courier brings supplies

Courtesy of my computer rounds

Of the stuff before my eyes

 

I came late to the cyber life

Going where my research led

And now I'm free from stress and strife

As it ensures I now get fed

 

Adaptability breeds success

And remains my guiding light

Towards the confidence I possess

To ease my present plight.

 

I do what I have to do

To keep this plague at bay

As I hope that you do too

To see it on its way!
