The state police outside the building
in the morning gave me
a mild touch of alarm,
but so what?
Their presence was neutral
and not one of harm.
The email that told us
to "shelter in place"
was so calmly, thoughtfully
written as if to give space
to the possibility of
calamity. It was
necessary, but
not to create panic because
in reality,
such threats are commonplace,
and mostly bullshit.
If they really intended it--
would they even make
a threat?
Living in interesting times.
Everything is a
long risk bet.
