I think that it speaks to my extreme damage but, I have been fixed to the television, internet, radio during this week of negative (horror-filled) news (is this website social media? If so, I don’t deactivate my account.)
I gorge myself with sadness. Sad music. Requiems. Poetry and then books. I become so immersed in sorrow until, finally, I am so exhausted that I queue up some Katy-Perry-Pop and sing out until sung out.
And, then, I begin anew.
(Interesting Katy Perry factoid: all men love Katy Perry, or the idea of Katy Perry. We will deny it. But it’s true - from pre-teens to octogenarians - all men want Katy-as-girlfriend.)
