The Breaking Point


 

So then, relax. Take a deep breath. All will

be well. You can stop mumbling under your

breath, there, let it all out. If it's any consolation 

you've got plenty of COVID-weary company.

Take my word for it. Or don't; after all I've

got a whole lot more years tucked away in

my memory than you, if that's any comfort.

Likely not. But this too shall pass, remember

that when it's all over. And it will be. You've

gone a little stir-crazy, no mystery there, so have

a lot of others. And like you they've been having

conversations with themselves. Actually they've

been speaking to, certainly not with, both

animate and inanimate presences. It's not so

all right if you're screaming at your computer

since it really doesn't care. Just don't do it to your

dog; speak gently and she'll understand. The days

of COVID are numbered, isolation set to vanish.
