This should have been a national unifying moment for the UK. Competent leaders of either stripe would have made it so, and I think we all saw that possibility beyond the fear and the grief. But it’s gone now, and we’re even more divided than before. It’s just so sad. @mrjamesob

In England they make rules and yet the rules are never clear; if you break the rules they’ll jail you, but the right sorts needn’t fear.

There were foxes in the garden as he stepped outside to see if he could spot Elon Musk’s satellites. Sharp teeth sank into his ankle. “Hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work you fuck...”, he muttered, looking down at the cuts. Now foxes won’t bite you, but liars get rich on your pain.

What was found among the scars, the vanished and the lost? Not a flash, a flicker of the courage you’d expect; instead I found a hollowness, a wider world of debt. Yet this is not the happenstance of actions I regret, so this is but the gathering of all life’s lessons met #poem

Weather seems lovely yet the air’s so cold; tickle in my throat, feeling in my bones... Never get to see them if the worst comes true; steaming is my medicine, music soothes the soul. #poem #writing #selfisolation #selfdistancing #StayHomeStaySafe #StayHomeSaveLives #COVID19

Now all your lols feel empty, all your memes, your answers... heard it all before a thousand times or more, back when it didn’t really matter. #poem #SelfIsolation #StayHomeStaySafe #StayAtHome

Call me, all alone in this nightmare dreamworld; where it’s all the same but it all changed forever. And all that we have is our love for each other, and our lack; our lack of understanding and our fear, but you know someday, somewhere we’ll celebrate again #poem #selfisolation
