picking up where I left off

but not really

never a phrase has not meant anything at all quite like this one

but wasn't 2019 just last year?

didn't we just live a horrible 2020 and now we're back where we were before?

certainly not

and still we continue with the usual movements

coming and going and eating and living and

pretending

like the last eighteen hundred days

were just a bad dream

in between vigils
