Outside

If you don’t have a yard

Or a terrace or deck,

(And, if moving, I’d strongly

Suggest that you check)

 

Just make sure there’s a park

Or a riverwalk, so

When you’re feeling cooped up,

You’ll have someplace to go.

 

For a window is not

Quite like being outside,

Where the air (fresh or not)

Somehow seems to provide

 

A connection to life,

Which I find that I need

To boost up my morale

(And for me’s guaranteed).

 

Yet I have to admit,

One exception I’ve got,

Will come later this week –

I’ll stay in when it’s hot!
