The Chill Air
The chill air knows many sources
An awakening from nightly dreams of fear
The sip of hot tea as one contemplates guilt
The anticipation of a pink slip hidden in an envelope
Awaiting the extended court hearing in a divorce settlement
CPR for a child lifted from a pool of innocent “let’s party” escape
The ignoring of one’s sobriety
The aloneness of a bivouac as sun sets in an attempt of escape
The everyday anticipation of becoming ill
But…
Nothing compares to the anxiety nurtured chill
Coming from the One day
Fifteen days
The unopened test result
Chill air
Like the virus
Spares no one
Who ignores safeguards
Such is the nature
Of chill air.
Get real.
Prepare
There be no safe havens
From the scourge of inept leadership
