Happy Groundhog Day!
I couldn't sleep last night.
I woke up at 2am
Ready to defend the world against coronavirus
Feeling responsible for everyone,
A heavy burden to bear in the dark
For someone as powerless as me.
Last week I woke up one day before 6am
And opened up my email in bed--
Like I shouldn't.
I swear the front page headlines
Appearing in my daily news email
Were the same as the day before.
I thought I must be caught in a
Groundhog Day scenario.
Time has moved forward since then
To today, which is Groundhog Day,
Thankfully.
