I accidentally grabbed the wrong package.

I do  not have a tolerance for heat.

So my mouth is burning

and I fear my poor stomach

will be in agony soon.

Change happens

and is very annoying sometimes.

When a routine has to be altered

it frustrates until the new one is established.

That was over here before.

Why would they place that here?

Where is it?

Why can I not do what I used to do?

All the little things that people in general

do not like to do

make such a difference

when you have a friend

who is trying their best.

If nobody else

seems to help

then change the routine

and help them.

You must be wary

of every step taken today

for who knows how close

danger lurks in the way.

Walk by a stranger on the bench

stop to say hello

and next time you cough

worry hardens the blow.

Every shop keep

has to make their ends meet

yet every customer

is illness walking in their feet.

No one is safe these days

so we act paranoid

and try to run away

and yet social distancing drives us all crazy!

I am a gamer

and I like my games.

So much so

that I forget to eat

or sleep

or move from my chair

and so the days go by

with out me knowing

who is out there

or why.

Acknowledging your ancestors

Whoever they might be

Be proud of who you are today.

Be ashamed of their actions

that caused harm to others

but love the life they lived

for in loving others

they passed it forward to you.

The world is bigger than all of us

but we still live every day

for the ones coming after us!

They were playing so nicely

Taking turns

having fun chasing the string

He was cuddly and cute

and she was jealous.

Within a snap

she turned into crazy mode

and chased him all around the house

breaking a few dishes

as they swept past the table.

Now he is relegated back to the basement

while she guards the rest from his intrusion.

Upon first waking up

The brain is foggy

and slow to distinguish

what is meant by things in front of it.

Coffee or other wake up means

sometimes help.

Then somedays

no matter what

you look at the words

in front of you

and simply

can not

comprehend

their meanings.

Normally I am okay

with not seeing people

for days at a time

but even I need to talk

to someone

anyone

who sees me

as a human being

and not another number

or case subject

I have had so many.

I want to do this!

but I can’t.

I don’t have the skills.

I want to try this!

but I am scared!

I want to be this!

but I’m old now and no longer have the energy to fight!

I wonder what dream will die tomorrow.

We all sit in different rooms

Each on our own electronic device.

Supper may be made

or we all fend for ourselves.

Eventually I call for bedtime

and if I’m lucky

there is minimal fuss.

Otherwise my evening takes longer than I would like!
