DUMBSTRUCK
There’s a hole in the wall
from the thing with the chair
and a strip of veneer’s peeling away
from the wooden toilet seat
RBG has moved on
over everything
I don’t know what to do with eternity
but as always
It begins now

I am so bereft over her passing, and yet life goes on. She was such an advocate. As if 2020 could get no worse.

You're right about that; one of my great nephews ( a twin ) was found unexpectedly dead on his bedroom floor this week. He was only 14. We havent' any results from the autopsy yet as to the cause, but there are no words.
We've lost parents grandparents, aunts, and uncles, but never a cousin, sibling, or, God forbid, a child until now. I am still in shock trying to absorb it all.

RBG gone. Toilet seat. Trump and his excrements. Worse to come, unless he's thrown out.

I often tell myself and my kids, you can never really throw anything "away." That said, Trump needs to be composted. Or dissolved in acid. I would accept either option.

Fair enough. I'd like to think that existence would be cruel enough for someone like that, but damn, doesn't seem to be. Who knows.
