A Social-Distancing Fantasy

Luxuriating in

a blanket of cozy down,

upon waking up.

 

Showering–spirts of

bracing water tingle

while warm water sooths.

 

Jane Austen now leans

very close, her tales repeating

charming adventures.

 

Refreshed by Jane’s

Salacious gossip, plunging

into a sparkling warm pool.

 

Toweling dry and

swaddled in cotton sheets,

sipping mint tea,

 

as I go to bed,

I fall asleep while reading

a bodice-ripper novel.

  1. This sounds like a pretty good fantasy. A cozy shower and some reading. Perfect! There was just enough detail that I could picture everything as if I was enjoying the fantasy myself.

  2. Another peaceful literary scenario. Very simple pleasures and all seem a lifetime ago, hence the “fantasy.” Jane would have plenty to say about this lunacy called the “new normal.”
