40 New Yorker Magazines

Subscription
Kept coming every week
Piled up
Never read them
Wife would read an article here and there
Mostly on her phone
Tell me about a great article
Kept meaning to read
Often would pack one in work bag
Sometimes read on the subway
Weeks would go by
Never happened

Pandemic
Home 3 months
Digging into the pile
Read the Prince article this morning
Something cool about year old mags
Reading before the world spun out
No talk of face masks
Disinfecting wipes were not like gold
My hair was much shorter
Stress level high to produce
I'll keep reading
No excuses now

Author's Note
It's a great magazine, will probably disappear like everything else
Physical being.  Like
