Social Isolation: Day 19
There are just enough
people at the Falls today,
just enough sun
to warm the paths.
The attraction, of course,
is the river,
deep and wild and leaping
like it did before Columbus.
No need to steal its power
now that everything is closed.
White caps and whirlpools
and, god, the speed.
We don’t need to wait
to stand at the edge,
that point, normally
jammed with tourists,
where water high dives
off of stone.
Just locals today,
some masked,
exchanging a look,
a shrug, that seems to say
so far so good.

Thank you for that painting in my mind; a pertinent and yet still lovely moment that hadn’t realized existed. I hope you are well and safe.

Thank you, Kyle.
We are well.
I was supposed to be at Cal-Mum last week, so I’m missing everyone there.
Hope you and yours are well.
