The In-Between Stuff

In life before, we did each chore

Before we headed out the door

Or in-between what was routine,

We’d clean or check our iPhone screen.

 

The major stuff, which was enough

To sometimes make us huff and puff,

Took up our days, with shops, cafés,

Museums, plays and hotel stays.

 

But by default, we’ve had to halt

What we exalt and somersault

Into a space where we’ve replaced

What we embraced. Ah, what a waste!
