Transfusion

I visited the Met* today

And came to this conclusion –

My spirits were revived as if

I’d had a blood transfusion.

 

For two long years I’ve stayed away

And all of my seclusion

Has weighed me down and filled me with

The sadness of exclusion.

 

But walking through the galleries,

Enjoying my inclusion,

I feel prepared to join the world

And shed my disillusion.
