Quarantine Poems

In my dream I have a little influence. In my dream I haunt my past. Was I there? My dream rewrites my memory of how it was. People are mean and direct in movies. In my dream they leave you alone. I wrote that in my dream. In my dream I am alone. Even outside there are no exits. In my dream I am waking. I surface violently, like a swimmer. I dream I have a little influence.

Privacy is The room where you go to read a book you won't tell anyone about. Privacy is Active quietness. Strategic non-sharing so that you have a self. Privacy is Riding the backseat crushed up against suitcases dreaming of crushes. Privacy is A mental witness protection against random anger in your house. Privacy is A decision made two weeks ago that you are just now declaring. Privacy is Property. Privilege. Pregnant. Personal. Power. Primary. Precious. Privacy is A home. Acting with out advertising. Leaving the record to chance.
