This covers the week of 4/26/20 - 5/2/20.
beset
Pulses of weariness and despair.
breaks
Two brisk walks in one day. Lots of screen time in between.
A puddle filled with pink blossoms and shivering birds.
glassy
New construction all looks the same to me: sleek rectangles with large windows and little artistry.
insomnia
It's no use asking my brain why it's woken me up in the middle of the night. Maybe it wants me to admire the shadowy room, and the way the light creeps over the walls.
patrolling
A flock of police officers on bikes. Black masks are stretched over their mouths and noses. They're on the lookout for legal violations, which these days include picnics and outdoor birthday parties.
screens
She tells me that the schools aren't giving grades. Regardless of grades, are the students learning anything from their sessions of screen time? Debatable.
