Leftovers

It has been said that most of the 60s actually happened in the 70s. I can only hope that's a temporal principle on which we can rely, as it neatly explains the past 10 hours or so as a leftover from the fundamentally shitty 2001 and not part of the much better year I had optimistically expected — and so far experienced — 2002 to be.

All will be much better in another day, when I am beside the ones I love and can hold them tight and assure them — and myself — that we are not replaying 2001 or, worse, 1999. For the moment, however, I'm feeling a little scared and although surrounded by friends, very weak and alone.
