I know this more of a list than a poem, but it got me through a very rough day (until I got home and realized I didn't want to be alone.)
- Be present
- Wear black from head to toe
- Peacefully, but not passively, oppose all forms of violence and violation
- Be especially kind to everyone, including myself
- Share lots of music in schools
- Show intentional support of a nonprofit organization
- Do not buy anything that is not local
- Notice what is still alive
- Mourn with those who feel any kind of loss
- Complete licensure application to send to DOPL
- Complete last day of one job, closing significant chapters of my life
- Read and write poems of the day
- Deliberately escape painful anxiety for at least two hours, and do something mindless
- Send love to those I love and also to some I do not like
