Confined in Caution

The silence is deafening 
I step into the building alone 
My desk of decade and a half 
stands watch over the agone. 

With a heavy heart, I pose 
click a selfie for posterity 
Pushing the button, for a hard reset. 
I stand still to ingest the severity. 

I repeat certain words often, 
‘eerie’ and ‘unreal’ mostly. 
Everyone agrees with me, 
while the world feels ghostly.
 
The things once the norm, 
seem unattainable at best. 
The mindless living on, 
something I have begun to detest. 

As I peer out of the window 
streets lined with parked cars. 
No one has anywhere to go. 
The world is indeed on a pause.
