On lonliness (and other animals)

This time of year is always interesting.

I know I've said that before.

But it's always a challenge.

I think it's partly because of the restlessness.
Partly because the winter is usually well and truly over by now.

This is the time when it becomes evident that everything is following predictable patterns. 

Wake.
Wash.
Work.
Sleep.
Repeat.

It doesn't help that the spring seems to be a good time for people to die.

At least the people I know.


And anymore,
it's almost not worth it,
getting to know them.


They follow their predictable patterns as well.
