Sheesh....
I’m outta here.
—John Ashbery
I try to be upbeat, think about others.
This can help. I know a lot of things
that sometimes can bring me up out
of a lull or pop my isolation bubble.
Or I used to. The isolation bubble
remains intact most of the time
these days. But a dull lull I can
worm my way out of in a number
of ways (that often work well to
do just that; are tried and true).
But it requires focus and discipline,
two things I used to have a lot more
of, could sustain in ways that feel
foreign or almost impossible now.
