Night nuance

An acrostic

Denizens of the post-COVID world

It takes loads of balls to inflict

Someone’s distraction from anything in life

They are already withdrawn

Results are as simple as that; they distract me from working on improvement of my little life in

A shell

Creating bonds so easily to break when

The smooth voice cracks in the earpiece, not soothing

It all, just making things worse

Ornate ornery onrush

Never mind, next night will be an encore
