Listening to the thin squeak
of my radio turned low
playing non-stop jazz
all day and night, but not
to disturb the neighbours …
I fill my dark with
other people’s dreams.
I read, too – stories that all
end happily, they are all alike.
Afterwards, I forget them.
Same!! Between doomscrolling and health scares, am listening to k-pop and watching nonsensical netflix - all promptly forgotten.
ReplyDeleteAnd with all that, we are the fortunate few (in world terms).
DeleteYes, fortunate - definitely. Though the war is having an impact here already with cooking gas (LPG) is short supply. A lot of small restaurants have had to close temporarily. We wait and watch. And hope.
DeleteAh yes. Here, we are worried about how soon we'll be running out of petrol for our cars, and the price is going up already.
