part vi: in every crisis, there is an opportunity to: do someone else's laundry.

another laundry day.

socks get rolled up,

underwear .. managed,

and a week's worth of cloth face masks folded in a neat pile, next to the front door and the first two re-looped with elastic bands for readiness.

i feel like someone hiding uncertainly behind blackout curtains, re-thinking past deeds, having no other recourse but to hold steady ..

.. but that's not quite right;

i'm holding steady because my "betters" betrayed me.

months ago the government decided that today,

which at one time was the future, wasn't worth it.

so we are left to deal with a reality that never should have been.
