As a reminder
we will still be doing things
even though no one
thinks this is normal
as half of the continent
goes through what we did
just a month ago—
we’re smiling under our masks
the official line
really we’re sweating
and hoping for a respite
maybe catch our breath
it might be the last
breath we’ll be able to take
before we get back
to pretending that
we’re in control of all this
when reality
keeps insisting otherwise
