You begin your sojourn, hoping That the light is long (red...), While I cross my fingers That it’s miraculously short (green...). We see each other but are careful not to look.

Flotsam – A Note to Myself During the Pandemic

You are retired and have not caught the virus. You stay home in isolation with your spouse. You wake up, look at the clock, debating— to get up, sleep late, or take a chance and go to Trader Joe’s. You wonder if you have been magically upgraded to be living the leisure life of the one percent, or the one percent has been forced to downgrade to the way of the underprivileged — no social contact, no fancy food, no shimmy new clothing, and no air travel. People say the coronavirus is an equalizer, so is being clammed shut for the retired. Everyone is given the same twenty-four hours, obeys the same rules, free to decide how to spend the day. But if you do not have a plan, then when the world skittles back you will still be drifting like a torn plastic bag allowing the current to carry you where it pleases. You’ll be at sea, unable to navigate your life again.
