Fine, thank you
May 23, 2021
For those who fear and for those who yearn deep conversations
Welcome to this home
Please leave your shoes and your emotions outside,
We like to keep things tidy
Regret, fear, and depression are not welcome
We don’t wear those colours here
Solitude, anguish, grief and suicide aren’t our cup of tea
We talk about what lies above the carpet here
Covid, sports, dinner menus, the need to cut the lawn, and turn the heating on, the new construction site
Don’t bring your melancholy, your childhood traumas, we have no use for them
No tears, no broken souls, no drama
And please don’t mention failure, miscarriage or anxiety
Oh, and yes, tell me, how are you?
