in the new normal relaxing feels like an act of rebellion
we don’t need to guess what a boat is, even when sitting on dry land
when the boards come down people will wrongly assume it’s back to normal
i wake most mornings completely confused by what my dreams are saying
we cannot ignore when we look out at the world there is work to do
if we act too soon it won’t be right, wait too long and we’ll bake garbage
two slices of bread toasted until almost burnt spread butter and jam
often, it’s only in hindsight that we learn the conditions were right
amid the chaos and daily uncertainty we can still find peace
there are many threats that can be mitigated by being aware
