Total Eclipse
All thumbs. That’s the feeling. Like I can’t make anything I touch work. It’s an unfair way to frame a day. But it fits. Broken computer screen. Taps on the iPad that yield no result. Lost AirPods. Found deck of cards. No cat litter. Mountains of cardboard.
A strange disconnect with others. Conversations without eye contact. Phone calls dropped. Calls that inexplicably can’t be answered. Siri asking me if I want to answer my phone, me desperately pleading, “Yes!” Waiting. Nothing. Two steps forward, one step back. Or more. Who’s counting?
Parking ticket. Wrong room-spray purchased. It smells weirdly sweet. Like a doughnut. Feelings of loss. Fear of more loss. Is this eclipse energy? I’m not in Africa. Kitten trapped in the laundry room complains when rescued.
