talking together

for the first time in a year

restaurants we've missed

brown leaves litter the desk when

I unlock the door

1. Both halves.

2. Split an orange and eat.

3. Even your toes thirst.

4. Lost in the desert of your home.

5. Meanwhile, you're

6. They may all be dead.

7. When did you last see someone face to face?

8. Have been sucked dry.

9. Your books, your shows,

10. Your blind spot consumes it all.

11. Forever.

12. Life recedes at pandemic speed,

13. 

14. Inside the Event Horizon

After nights of strange dreams
Lying down in winter
Waking up in summer

Last week I missed about three days. If I had Covid, it was a very mild case. Given my track record, it could have just as easily been the common cold, because I don't usually have mild cases of anything. I am back on track with Dreams and Nightmares and I think I will more or less eliminate the backlog of submissions today.

welcome to the workshop

 

there will be no handouts

please maintain your distance at all times

found something perplexing?

don't put your heads together

hold the fossil at arm's length

don't share your hand lenses

observe cool items

one at a time

at lunch

     do not touch the outside of the clamshell

     shout your thoughts so all can here

     sorry, bathrooms are locked for the duration

welcome to the workshop

DJT did us one big favor. He made 9-11 almost seem like a bump in the road, and he's the gift that keeps on giving.

Looking forward to
family holidays without family
maybe we'll zoom

 constant low-level worry

why doesn't he wear a mask?

could virus be seeping through hers?

who walked here, coughing, just before I came

and did they touch this knob?

is too much air creeping

under my mask edge?

should I update my will?
