Longing For Water

This new age of quarantine has brought many changes. Going to a doctor’s appointment is no exception. No longer are family members allowed to accompany the sick unless they are a child or unable to walk by themselves. Instead we’re asked to wait in our cars in the parking garage. So it is that I find myself in my car, surrounded by others locked up in their cars with the motor idling, the air conditioner running, and the radio blaring. Can this really be the dream we want?

worshiping comfort
blind to the poison we make
slowly slaying us
