Each day I wake up

Knowing that the world is not the same

I look outside

Empty streets

More bees than usual 

Deer walking around peacefully

Finally free to exist

Without human intervention

Each day seems the same

They blur together

One indistinguishable from the last

This is the new norm

Time becomes irrelevant

When there’s nothing to do

Weekends become meaningless

When they’re more of the same

Each day I ask myself

How am I supposed to pass the time?

One activity to the next

I attempt to distract myself

The future is uncertain

And the present is more of the same

Jumping back and forth between two realities in my mind

I wonder if the certainty of the present moment is better than the uncertainty of the future

Each day I wonder

How will we move forward from this?

What will become the new norm? 

Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise 

An opportunity to be better

To build better systems

To prevent future catastrophes

An optimistic outlook overshadowed by the pessimistic reality
