Nothing and Everything

mm

Nothing

is what it seems anymore.

The world is slipperier

these days.

More unstable.

Less solid.

Predictions feel pointless.

Plans seem silly.

Everything

is different now.

We are not

the same.

Taking a single step forward

is an act of courage.

Showing our faces.

Standing in a crowd.

Simultaneously suspect

and delicious.

Now the sun is rising,

I can see.

I am different.

I am not the same.
