We Are All Dying

We are all dying I did not know I was Until today It is not a doctor’s prognosis It’s not a disease It’s not having people Sheltering in place Is taking my joy Squelching my happiness This is how people die right?

It is getting to be drudgery entertaining myself without children around.
