Shelter-in-place day 1, quarantine week 2 day 3

i think the lack of sleep precipitates an air of dismay, of gloom paralleled only by a glance at the front page of the new york times
sometimes i feel like i should be taking notes on the paper every day, with as much fervor as i did during med school
perhaps this will come in handy one day, moons later, when someone says, with irresponsible confidence
that history doesnt repeat itself
in all honesty is it even history
or a forecast for tomorrow
