Reasons

It was

Eighty degrees and

Sunny today,

I

Stayed inside

Due to a

Compilation of

Factors, including

The humidity

And ticks

And wi-fi connections –

I

Opened the window

To find

The wind was

Blowing pleasantly;

I

Stayed inside

Due to some

Complex considerations,

Including

My grandfather

The dog

And

Neighbors –

My

Lined paper

Remained

Blank in

The second half of

Everything,

From

Lunch on it sat

Waiting

And empty

With the pencil sitting

Right by,

It

Didn’t do anything

Because I

Didn’t go out,

Due to

A lot of stuff

I

Had

Going on, including

History homework

MacBook keys

And a couch –

The air was

Heavy with

Thunderstorm

Weather, and

The clouds were

Building

Up

In that

Thick

Sky I

Love

But I didn’t

Go outside

Because of

Some multi-faceted

Reasons

You might not understand,

Including

Apathy

The suspension of time

And ticks.
