ohgodhowarewelivinginthesetimes trying

on november thirteenth we said

ohgodhowisitwednesdayhowarewestillhere wishing

on november sixteenth we said

ohgodjusttelluswhenwewillbefree wanting

to know when we would have more time.

on november thirtieth we will say

ohgodhowisnovemberalmostover realizing

the time has gone without us really noticing at all.
