reminder

You’ve forgotten what’s back here.

What’s half-buried or completely paved.

I will not forget. I will not let you forget.

I will stay here until you remember.

I am a reminder.

I am Cone Alone.

going swimmingly

Sometimes, the trails get too dusty, too busy.

And the people. The people are too angry, too hurtful.

So I find myself in the lake, bobbing with the tiny ripples.

I’ll keep the ducks safe for a while.

I am Cone Alone.

My great-great grandcone warned carriage drivers of impending cliffs.

I am the last of my family, but I have stood on the shoulders and heads of giants.

I will try to keep you ahead of the curve.

I am Cone Alone.

I reached the summit.

I did it. Finally.

I look, but no one is around.

I am accomplished.

I am isolated.

I am Cone Alone.

I am trying to make sure you move forward, not backward.

(Not that time is a linear move toward progress. That narrative is misguided.)

I want you to learn from your mistakes and move toward care, compassion and community.

I think you can do better.

I am rooting for you.

What was it like outside?

What was it like before this?

I want to be on the other side.

We are six feet apart.

But we are in this together.

Aren’t we?

I miss your touch.

I cannot be productive.

I cannot even take care of myself.

I am on rocky ground.

I am keeping a safe distance.

I miss my friends and coworkers.
