Cabin Fever

The reason I feel so strange right now…

It must be cabin fever,
or something more serious.
The reason I feel so strange right now.

I almost understand the cats
and their language, as I watch them run
back and forth across the floor, chasing ghosts.

I need to get outside.
But it’s cold, dark, and windy out there,
and I’m feeling broke, but rich with excuses.

O where, O where did the day go?
The night is young, but I feel so old.
In here, anxiety lives and reigns with a vengeance.
