Isolation: Day 14

Today  
I do nothing
apparently I am a hero for it
funny old world
 
A man in the Philippines punched a doctor in the face  
this made the evening news in Britain
along with the relentless flow of images
depicting the bare and deserted streets of western civilisation
and the bodies  
mustn’t forget the bodies  
the mounting piles of nameless dead
adding to the ever present  
daily count
 
I walk the dog  
he has never been walked so much in his life
I go home
drink 8 cans  
and gently fall  
sound and softly to sleep
safe in the knowledge
I did my bit.
