Routine

     Tonight I shall do the dishes. I will then check my email again. I shall turn the computer off, change into my nightclothes, bathroom, and climb into a chilled bed alone. And I shall wake in the morning to the sounds of my eldest child waking.

     And I shall do the same tomorrow night.

     And it shall continue for some time.

     I speak to many friends, but I hear no voices. I speak with my fingers and a keyboard. I listen with a flickering screen.

     I remember, once there was variation.
