Lockdown Hourglass

Hourglass ticking away

Staying at home, locked down

Idling away with nothing to do

Sleeping, eating, sleeping, the cycle repeats

Netflix, Prime, Hotstar, all subscribed

Still, boredom laughs lethargically

What a waste of time

Hourglass reversed

Staying at home, locked down

Finally, I have some time...

Kite Runner on the shelf

D U Strum the fast-paced tune

Fill the table cloth with chain stitches, French knots

Center cut, back shot, carrom with the kids

Click some sleeping photos of my cat

Fold origami flowers and butterflies

Isn't that what I always wanted?
