I'm Sitting In My Head

Time has stopped abruptly for me. I’m sitting in my head. According to government regulations distance between us should be 1.5 meters or 6 feet. Before Covid-19, it was easier to keep that but we change forms. We are identical, and yet there’s an immense figure - my fears. The me-s grow or shrink, and fear grows too. We don’t fight, we shift forms in the darkness of my mind. We keep close and merge. This is my coping mechanism with the worldwide pandemic, sitting in my head and fighting with my fears of sitting in my head. I’m sitting in my head.
