Day 19
Of quarantine?
Who can keep
Track anymore?

My trauma-primed
Disabled life
Has readied me
Has steadied me
For this.

Social-distancing?
Such a pro at this thing.
Tell me again
How I need to go out.

Newsflash,
I don't.
I'm safer staying in -
I've known that.

Thanks again
For dropping off
Those groceries -

(Manipulation.
Pause.  Unfreeze.)

You don't get
To cross
Our boundaries.

Keep your distance.

Staying alive
Is our act
Of resistance.
