Mercury

I see that he's president, finally. 
I see he seeks to erase his predecessor
and the tyranny that rushed through the administration that came before, I see how he is good, not bad, however simple those words may be. 

Insurgent: A rebel or revolutionary. 

I know his claims are false. 
I know he is grasping at straws that nobody else can find, that nobody else will ever find. 

2020!




Wow.




I wish I could wish it all away. 




The pain, the tears, the scars... We are not built for this. 




We should never have had to endure this.  

I would find a way to tell my family I love them. 
 

I'm sitting here with no socks on.
It's mundane.
I'm watching my father 
who is listening to Ozzy Osbourne
because it's that kind of day.
I disagree.
With music, there is organization,
there is rhythm .

I am living in chittenden county. 
Last month I could say "I'm proud to live here, where we are handling the virus appropriately." 
And now I say, "What? What happened?" 

but I know what happened.
