“mens sana in corpore sano”

Coffee comfort upper
Register my complaints
In the downstairs office
no light switch on walls of black paint
You have to feel your way

“Could you become your own comfort?”
she asks, I lean
legs crossed on the black couch
covered with a white bottom sheet
the appearance of COVID safety

It may not do anything
But it makes us feel better
I feel along the walls and floors
For the hidden scarlet letter
force stillness on the go getter
