in a fog, in a bubble

usually very self-absorbed
what’s happening to me
today thinking of others

Kehben’s dog Tinkerbell dying of cancer
Jacob Wetterling, 11 years old, abused, murdered
Standing Rock standoff, the Protectors defending the water
in spite of dogs and mace

thoughts with me today
my work my home my trips my plans
tinged with pale melancholy

a beginner at exchange
this difficult world
