the 2020 blues is the new national anthem


 

I'm wearing the same old clothes, binging the same ol’ shows, seeing the days anastomose. and waiting for my vaccine dose. I’m humming the same ol’ songs, I'm dreading the rerun dawns, trying to at least appear strong, but becoming angry and withdrawn. I'm tired of the same old faces, of being stuck in these boring places, of feeling my nights are wasted, and dreaming of friends embraces. I'm writing the same ol’ verse. becoming increasingly terse, knowing it could be worse, waiting for the end of this curse.

I echo these same sentiments, Anais, this is so very well written and stated. Here's hoping the curse will end soon...REAL SOON. Happy new year my friend. John

Happy New Year John - and it will be happier for the cures and freedoms of 2121.

Really? I thought women had adjusted to a lifetime of the curse? Aloha! Rico

Ha! Not THAT curse!! There’s no escaping that and no effective vaccine.
