We can’t straddle fences
once the barbed wire goes up.
We can’t walk a fine line
when the lines have blurred into nonexistence.
We can’t look the other way
when there ceases to be any other way.
If we concede that this is the best we can hope for,
we are forsaking hope and forsaking one another.
It's time.
What Rhymes with Stanza? 
But what to do?

Whatever we can at any given moment. Comfort those who are afraid. Prod our reps and senators to act. Share whatever talents/goods we have with others and accept what others offer for our collective greater good. They might torch the government, but we can’t let them destroy our humaneness. We must cultivate community. And this coming from an avoidant personality disordered crone.
