Poem written 26th March 2020       

 

 

Hemispheres

 

My introvert side

is glad to actually have a rest:

Breathes, exhales slowly, sinks into his chair.

 

He sets priorities, contemplates, makes plans

yet accepts the folly of making plans -

releases all to its fulfillment.

 

My extrovert side

wants to eat sushi, drink draught beer

experience the world beyond his front door.

 

He cannot bear to stay inside

while there is an outside which must be changed.

In the distance a siren sounds, a call to action right now!

 

It doesn't matter

which side of my brain I would like to follow:

At least I have passed five minutes of the pandemic.
