i think today
is credited with being the start of the pandemic
obviously
not the beginning of covid infections
but when it was officially acknowledged
as a global crisis

i remember going to the 54 opening,
it was very sparsely attended
for what would otherwise have been
a mad crush

g/ was super worried about going
& there were very few masks
i remember i reached out
and touched the arm
of one fabulously attired woman
to compliment her
and being aware
that i shouldn't have done that

it was the beginning...
i hope the end is
(somewhat)
in sight
