I held a 'home office party' today.
Face masks not optional.
I wore mine proudly for others sake.
I did my best to follow the rules.
Social distancing never was my strong suit.
Though a vain person nor a stalker be,
I just couldn't keep six feet from myself.
A riot nearly ensued.
I had no choice but to shut it down.
As a result I ended up getting drunk.
On my own.
Again.
I am surely going mad,
For every Friday I host another.

Author Notes
Free verse is an open form of poetry, which in its modern form arose through the French vers libre form. It does not use consistent metre patterns, rhyme, or any musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.
