I came out of lockdown

For those feeling weird in weird times.

I came out of lockdown

unimaginably

grateful for the opportunity

speaking fluent

having refurbished my rage

as Detective Inspector, congratulations,

with a side-splitting routine about sides splitting

and a ground-breaking anti-novel

with attachment issues

awarded 2020’s Gadget of the Year, with a whopping 20 hours of public life

unfortunately

not drowning but third-waving

postponing an inquiry

upside out and inside down and

unlikely

unskilled

unready

for coming out of lockdown,

unlocked

and that’s about it.
