HOME ALONE

You’re never home alone
when the cockroaches
and mice invade
Your space invaded
by various vermin
the tiny pitter-patter
of rodent feet
and scurrying roaches
in the kitchen
But no mice or cockroaches
to my knowledge
ever slammed a door shut
Is it audio illusion?
Maybe just hearing things
on a lonely Autumn evening
It’s cold outside
and colorful leaves plunge to death
and crinkle under footsteps
Home alone
with a hyperactive imagination
and a realization
that I really need a few friends
Card Partirs, Scrabble
and team Monopoly - on the list if by next spring no cure. Delta will not be invited. Outside in the park with new friends. Sounds right.
