—WE’VE BEEN LIVING ON A FAULT LINE, AND FOR A WHILE YOU WERE ALL MINE

 

 

 

…The other day I woke really, really early and pulled up the news on my computer, and things weren’t looking so hot as evidenced by these headlines:

 

--Shoppers, Workers Describe Chaos After Two People Shot at Tukwila Mall (I live an hour from there and used to work at a store five minutes away).

 

--Portland Police Declare Riot, Post Photos of Damage Done to Buildings

 

--Wisconsin Casino Shooting Leaves 3 Dead

 

--India Sets Yet Another Record With 400,000 New Daily COVID Cases, Total Deaths Topping 225,000 (Although experts estimate both numbers are actually 10 times worse).

 

…That’s a lot of sadness.

But then I had this piece published, in the always fabulous GHOST PARACHUTE, and it wasn’t any happier, though maybe it was a bit by the end?
