I have so far accepted the anti-social limits
that Covid, in all it's forms, has set me,
I have reluctantly embraced my isolation.
Now, though, I am being invited out,
to join the ranks of the worried well,
who manifest their worries
through frequent self administered,
and officially registered, antigen tests.
I prefer the test of not going out
because mostly I have nowhere to go
and everybody has forgotten when I am.
If I could pass that test
I need never go out again.
