As for ‘And how whatever I write makes no difference to the status quo at all — not where it really matters.’ I think many of us share your frustration. Yet…. Yet i cling to the notion that just confirming that someone else really feels how the world is upside-down, in a scary, crazed way, that ‘so, it’s not just me’, emperor’s new clothes way…it helps. Really, Ian, it does help.
Love the poem! The imagery speaks volumes.

Thank you, Brenda.
