So long American - sung to So Long Marianne

So so long CDC It’s time for you and me to die from bygone disease (like measles and TB) while we laugh and cry we”re the best! we’ll die knowing we’ll be great again *** This is what my brain does when I wake in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep.

They control disease outbreaks, gone as predicted, people don't realize what they voted for. Canada on the list...colonization a 51St State! Get some rest, Maureen, as best as you can. Sending comfort:)

Poignant and funny all at once. I was up at 4 a.m. reading my bible then went back to bed. We have to do something in those hours when sleep eludes us. I often write. Hugs and blessings! Enjoy your whimsy!

Between whimsy and weeping. I am so terrified for us all, for every living creature on our wee planet. I envy your faith and do so appreciate your kindness and openness. Thank you Kim. Hugs and blessings to you too. xomo
