Smoke Victory Cigarettes

The first day of the 
New Stay At Home order
And I'm going to be
A visiting criminal
Do I care?
I'm concerned, perhaps
But in my defense, officer
I have spent the last two weeks
In my room
Only leaving for groceries
And the morning run in the dark
I need to get a prescription filled
And I need to have a conversation
With someone
In person
That, as far as I'm concerned
Is an essential service
And, really
There's four people in my bubble
And this naked couple I'm going to visit
Is half of them
So, fine me and lock me up
For socialization
Then take me to 
Room 101
Put those impending rats in my face
And let's get this
Whole thing over with
Because, after all
You know how much
I love you
Don't you?
