I wake and breathe in the thick air of uncertainty that envelopes me. 

The weather flip-flops from sunshine to gloom.

The news forecasts perpetual doom,

and so does my mood.

 

As fragile as the annealed glass:

global affairs,

peace,

public health,

safety,

sanity. . .

 

All one careless graze away 

from crumbling into countless tiny shards.
