What if the reason you’ve never met your soulmate is because they were slowly trampled to death by a Galapagos tortoise?

It is not that we have run out
of basic human sympathy
but after being told for so long
that we need not mourn
the sick and the poor
the service workers and the elderly
the at risk and the unlucky
it is odd to be told to mourn
wealthy thrill seekers.

You're telling me a cis teen built this chapel?

How the nuthatch got its name.

I have heard it said
that working from home
only appeals to those
who are less ambitious
and less productive
which I suppose is fair
as it is not my ambition
to keep getting sick
and I have no interest
in increasing the productivity
of the plague.
