Normal
We all have different “normals” –
What we eat or wear or read
Or when we sleep or watch TV
To like the lives we lead.
The jobs we do, the trips we take,
The purchases we’re buying –
Our choices all are factors
In our living and our dying.
But “normal’s” been upended
In this crisis-laden year,
With many things on hold because
Of circumstance or fear.
My normal may not be like yours
Though maybe my resistance
To getting back to what once was
Will keep us at a distance.
