Walking to the shops tonight

Empty streets,
I spied a distant man, masked,
And thought Oh no,
where's yours, your phone?

Turned tail and retreated
Greeting gardening neighbours
With a gesture and grin of folly
Grabbed mask and phone

Abashed faced the same small audience
For the third, and of course fourth time
And what did I buy?
Well the rain and wind had stopped
And for the first day in not a few
I had set foot outside.

Such is life these days, is it not?
