i feel like i’m in a difficult place. i believe it is important to know what is going on in the world.

Mis estimados, my esteemed one…
Do not lose heart. We were made for these times.

draw it
my hands sculpting the abyss?
invite it to sit for awhile
and have some tea?

i don’t want to know.
<smirk>
with no time
have you considered that someone might actually be REAL… here?
have you considered someone might talk about things that are uncomfortable?

have you considered that THIS IS A TEST?
And that how I do…. is how I do?...
