Back out into the world,
and…
[it’s not so bad]
somehow I knew this day was on its way.
Doesn’t feel like I’ve been away too long
then again,
time is relative
and so are we, in a sense or two.
[but] honestly,
it feels like I can breathe again;
Feels almost whatever “normal” is
for most people
back to antisocial distancing
and awkward interaction.
Release me…
it won’t hurt you as much
as you think it will.
