Wanting to escape tonight
from wars on the other side of the world
(but it’s such a small planet, and
there isn’t a fence across the middle)
or from fires starting to surround my town
and being brought under control again daily
(we just don’t know when there will be
some sudden surge or shift of wind)
and from all the many other things
there’s a need to escape from, including
an app on my phone telling me that
my walking’s unsteady (I know, right)
I take refuge again in Netflix, lose myself
in something light and pretty … briefly.
