It's all rightUnless you're either lonely or under attack.That strange effortfulRepositioning of yourself. Laundry, shopping,Hours, the telephone—unless misinformed—Only ever ringing for you, if it ever does.The night—yours to decide,Among drink, or books, or lying there.On your back, or curled up.An embarrassment of poverty.[Night by Michael Hofmann]http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poem/181628gratitude to the person or persona [unknown] bringing this poem/poet to my attention... it struck a chord.
