Life up close and personal

She sits
squarely 

in the valley

of her imagination

Peering

over the hills

at the life

that has passed her by.

All escape routes

blocked

in the face of a pandemic

Travel is

for brochures

Running

requires a mask
Leaving

is left

with no place

to go

This may be 

 a deliberate exercise

on nature's part

to bring people

closer to

the full-frontal

raw reality

of their existence

There's nowhere to go

but here

You are

up close and personal

With the life 

you chose

or the one

that chose you

How do you like

them apples now?
