Currents Poem by anais vionet

It's been a week - things have been happening - I'm going through it. I've become nostalgic for two weeks ago. I got screamed at, I lost my AirPods case, and I cracked my iPhone screen, so I'm several levels worse - I'm a sad human. I'm writing this at the Apple Store while a friendly Apple person renders me whole.

The Ukraine situation has everyone unnerved. Draw a card - Pandemic or WWIII? Please, protect my peace. So there's a level of 'screw-it' now.

Friday night, I'm in a bad mood and when someone says 'Come-on let's go clubbing! '
I'm - 'Let's GET THIS.' Later, we're at a club, and it's INSANELY crowded, like a moshpit. It was ABBA night. It did not escape me that this is exactly the type of milieu I've been avoiding for years. Did I mention the WWIII level of 'screw-it'?

Ok, moshpit, You could hardly move, you definitely couldn't hear, and Anna dropped her phone - we were sure that it was gone forever but 30 minutes later a hole opens up and there it is - like it's just been sitting there waiting - so, there ARE miracles.

The list of life's demands grow by the moment - reading, homework, laundry, dinner, upcoming midterms. I had a rock solid plan for a Saturday night of fun but assignments and necessities destroyed its integrity.

After a heroic effort and completing everything, I felt a fast-metastasizing boredom, so I wandered outside my room, hoping for company and distraction - it was 00: 30 AM - and for once - no one else was there! Where was everyone? Hello zombie apocalypse.

So, I did what anyone would do in that beat - I cued-up 'Miraculous, ' because Ladybug's always there for me.
