Another Tricky Day
What is one day to another?
Does Monday wish for Friday,
Wednesday give thanks that it’s not Monday?
And would the sun still rise
if Sunday fell in the middle of the week?
These questions were answered long ago,
when I retired and every day became Friday.
But what of those now sitting at home,
stay-at-home and social distancing their jailers.
Will they return to their daily regimen
now that every day is Saturday?
The prompt for Day 18 at napowrimo.net is to write an ode to life’s small pleasures.
It’s a good question. I can’t imagine things will ever be the same. But we are creatures of habit, so perhaps there will be comfort in returning to the old routines. (K)

Let’s hope those old routines include a new president. 😉

I don’t have much confidence in the American electorate right now. I hope that will change.

GOOD snapshot of COVID coping. A bit of forced slowing of pace and lessening of physical turf is probably a good thing for each of us … unfortunate that it’s happening due to a virus with lethal capacity. Will be intriguing a year from now to look at various assessments of damage done. The politicians will see it differently than the scientists …

Thank you.
And some of those politicians already do.
