Lament of the healthy...

So, quarantined...
living with one other person,
focused on one other person,
dependent on one other person...

the thump of feet
on the floor above me,
I cringe
the slurp and chomp
during lunch annoy me,
I wince
the voice raised loud
tele-meeting around me,
I sink

Quarantined...
living with one other person
Week Two - nearly done.

    I am so sorry this made me laugh. I hope you find ways to deal with your one other person.

    The little things are getting to us all here. Your poem identifies some of those annoyances.

    It kinda makes you rethink retirement, doesn't it?
