Summing Up

You're a shut in if you're at home
and you can't be sold things
even though you are quietly
rebuilding your jeans collection
online, but it's apparently a
problem to take your drinking 
to its natural conclusion first
and pick up the pieces later
and discover that picking up
the pieces is discovering so
many worlds can exist for 
you at home if you just open
your mouth and let them out.
And once you realise that is
not a problem you realise the
real problem is you go out
once in a blue moon and your
immediate response to everything
going on is to be surprised by it
and wanting to know more is
a net result of surprise not
curiosity. Just holding 
that curiosity and welding it to 
whatever it is you're now getting 
up to at home, gosh there is 
so much there for us in here
if we just leave our coats
on the hook.
