and then this happens...

so the morning is a morning pretty much like another
because these days are more or less like one another
except you begin by listening to a talk presented online
that is informative and inspiring
so that is nice
and as it wraps up you realize it's still morning and a sunny day
and decide wouldn't it be a good idea to go for a little walk
so you head out into the neighbourhood
not for very long
not for very far
but it is pleasant and rejuvenating
and along the way you think:  yes, please
many more of these
because through all the heaviness
and uncertainty just a little breath of fresh air
makes so much difference
and as you walk the last few metres up to your house
you wonder:  hey, what's that?  what's that sound?
and as you are nearly at your house you wonder
'is there an electric car in our driveway?'
but then you see no, there is no car
and then you look up
and between your house and the neighbours'
there is the source of the sound:
and it is a massive swarm of insects
maybe bees
maybe wasps
maybe hornets
but a massive swarm
right there
more or less on your doorstep
and then reality hits that it is just another day
more or less like another day so far
in the year 2020
