Now that the pandemic is dying down
I’ve been talking with a lot of
Various people who seem to be
In agreement that Covid is the
Worst thing that’s ever happened
To them,
And I can’t help but think
That Covid-19 isn’t even
On my “Top 3 List” of
Awful things.
Don’t get me wrong,
The pandemic was
Different for everyone.
For some people it was
100 hundred times worse than
Others,
Especially those who were damaged
As a result of the virus,
But personally
Covid didn’t seem that awful.
Perhaps my introverted nature and
Disdain for humanity gave me an
Advantage during the pandemic.
Perhaps the extreme nature of
Past tragedies and my
Familiarity with my own mortality
Dulled the blow of the virus.
After surviving two
Medical catastrophes
Both of which should have left me
Either insane or dead,
Covid feels a bit more
Like a speed bump.
