Inside & Terrified

from Inside & Terrified by Bob Hillman

lyrics

We holed up here
For the whole of a year
Under orders to shelter in place
On house arrest
Irritated, obsessed
With detachment and personal space
New shades of blue through the window
Maybe an oversupply
You came by but I was inside and terrified

Viral decay
Is a game children play
Every day in the yard after school
They act afraid
And the winners evade
A tenacious, deranged molecule
It’s impolitic when a “victim”
Acts like he might want to cry
You came by but I was inside and terrified

We read the news
And absorb interviews
In pursuit of applicable facts
All sorts of mis-
Information persist
By the graces of partisan hacks
I wish we were free in the evenings
When phobias preoccupy
You came by but I was inside and terrified

I went outside
With my kids, for a ride
From the Sunset to Saint Francis Wood
Strangers advise:
We are now jeopadiz-
-ing the safety of their neighborhood
Acquaintances talk on the sidewalk
We beat it home on the fly
You came by but I was inside and terrified
