The Fear
Hello, my dear,
Don’t get up.
I’m coming to sit with you,
here for a while
on this comfortable sofa
where it’s safe.
Oh no, you don’t want to be going out
there in the world
where it’s difficult
and people will judge you.
You know they will.
Just stay a while with me
here where it’s easy
and maybe we’ll
open another packet of Hobnobs.
Oh, no. They’ll never miss you,
those people out there,
where all sorts of terrible things are happening
and everywhere is risk.
Help me to hide
with a box set
until we’re totally lost…
