This new normal does not resemble
normal at all, it is abnormal.
We have been changed
and the way is different
Forced to be separate,
I long to comingle.
The stress of all alone,
makes me treasure being together.
I am not alone,
and we are not together.
A common threat,
creates unique responses.
My presence requires
careful listening.
My absence necessitates
persistent waiting.
Alone together spins
community.
Putting up with and taking care of
a different way

smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
