If you're anything like Mitchell from Woodbine, you're probably getting bored and restless spending more time at home. He expresses his feelings through poetry in a submission to our Collecting in Quarantine initiative. "Bored and madness I cannot discern; joy through perseverance I will earn. The right to laugh, joke and play; I will try to find happiness in the next day."
