SOMNAMBULANT

I don’t know anything about quantum theory but

I do know time has stopped or is folding into itself

We’ve been mandated a space to keep away

My screen time has increased exponentially

as well as my anxiety level

and exponentially is trending as word of the year

I walk around in a looping nightmare as the wraith

of it floats and settles on all surfaces I fear

doorknobs glass counters and my own family

I can’t stop trying to rub the sleep from my eyes
