key
right round
double-click the door
exit the stair
and
outside i go
turn right for trouble
left holds more hope
avoiding
that guy
stood smoking dope
cross over junction
smile past two cops
then quickly
round
a few of the shops
run into church ladies
who'd test my wit
or more like hoping
to roast me on a spit
dodging around
avoiding strange looks
soon i’m back
home
with bread cheese and books
my privacy button
is first thing i press
when living
alone
with no unwanted guests
