Staying Home

The sun is a gentle bath,

Quiet and warm

The color is rising back into the earth’s cheeks

These were perfect days

to stay home from school,

Full of endless promise

And unburded by anything

But a flu.

The idea that biases or roadblocks

were ahead of me

Was only as concrete as the contents of my stomach.

And, if I watched The Price is Right,

And cartoons?

I was blissful,

And that was enough.
