I keep seeing social media posts from people grateful for this time to "slow down" and spend more time doing things with their families. We're all in this together, they write, and I think, but are we?
The people who can afford it the least are taking it in the shorts.
The cooks, the massage therapists, the bartenders and musicians and baristas.
The people who make our lives wonderful and who make little when times are good, and nothing when times are bad.
So, miss me with the privileged wistfulness.
We are in this together by necessity; I only hope we stay in it together on the other side.
