Lonely John Locked
Most don’ know this lockdown taste,
But I, like warms on waste,
Now mock those on lock as on their own grot.
Re-run their prayers to hug again.
And in disdain for the social-addict-men
I say “savour this drug, my long-solitude.”
Sadistic; pathetic - they name me
But we’re the same: you, me, he and she.
I’m lonely ‘cause don’ know who else to be.
