Moment of Clarity
Alienation and isolation
My difficult roommates of fifty years
Today took welcome if brief vacation
And took along my phobias and fears
Away they went on holiday to hell
Left me to fend for myself on my own
And in their absence today turned out well
Not alienated only alone
Not isolated merely singular
And as for fears of things which never were
They went with the phobias and the rest
I am beginning to like it this way
And am wondering if perhaps the best
Idea is to extend this holiday
Of all my demons make them stay away
Changing the locks and not going back to
The way things were no matter what they do
