Things I’d Rather Be Doing

soaring the sky
basking in the sun
dancing in the rain
walking on the moon

flying a kite
climbing a mountain
tanning at the beach
swimming in the ocean

working at the office
visiting my friends
attending a party
dolling up at the salon

playing at the park
shouting at a concert
eating at a restaurant`
watching a movie at the cinema

these and many more
are the things I’d rather be doing
than staying at home
waiting for normalcy
