MARCH 19TH

 

It is March the 19th 2020
and 17 minutes past 8am.
I have had one (1) small cry
today, when I knocked
my grandfather’s painting
off the wall. I have had one
small dance, whilst I made
porridge and listened to
‘Hold on You’ by Valley Queen
(4:57). I have had half
a banana and a small glass
of orange juice my housemate
left behind. Later I will call
my friends, laugh and take
screenshots of their sweet
and silly faces – a screenshot
is a holding close of sorts.
