Chorusless Song

...
 
I am designing an up-to-date flat      
I am resigning myself to a home tour  
I am singing the pandemic's blues    
 
I am feeling the urge to be sensible  
I am trying to be analytical  
I am rolling with these warlike changes  
 
I am climbing my own simple words  
I am crossing the spirit of armageddon  
I am checking eschatology  
 
I am drifting through the current landmark  
I am writing this chorusless song  
I am versifying these lonely *I ams*  
 
I am honeymooning in Playboy magazine  
I am daydreaming about laptops and TVs  
I am cultivating a forced empathy    
 
I am assembling this new reality    
I am tightroping across the unseen enemy  
I am cheering from my balcony  
 
... ...
