Unscreening Room

A day the world won’t let you in.
Check news. There’s news, but there isn’t.
Check post office. Check in-boxes.

Nothing doing. It’s the relief
That makes you anxious. You’re searching
For traction, but you can’t grasp it.

Can you not just relax and wait?
What is there to evaluate?
No one’s contacting you right now.

You don’t want to be contacted.
Why not celebrate? A finch sings.
You’re not hungry at the moment,

Not obligated. You’re at peace.
You’ve no need for entertainment.
