One Day At A Time

One Day At A Time

One day at a time. 

One breath at a time.

And now the whole country, 

The whole world really, is in on it.

I feel frozen and fluid at the same time.

One day at a time.

How many dead?

How many infected?

How many ventilators?

The days are all so different

And yet so much the same

Frozen again

What is happening

Fluid, what can i do?

Is it possible to be in time and out of it at the same time

Unstuck in time.

Here I am sitting on a bed 

While appearing in a video conference 

And writing about this moment.

Surreal has become real

Suddenly a Picasso painting

Or maybe more like Salvador Dali

And time is melting

All around me.

In and around me.

And I am not lost because there is no lost

Only here and now

And what that is, well I don’t know.

Breathing again.

Of course I was breathing all along

And I had nothing to do 

With the mechanics of that.

I’ll just be.

And I’ll be ok.
