Together apart (lockdown diaries)
In this upside-down or downside up, we are together apart. Our heart-to-hearts morph into slapsticks as you lie on your living room floor for hours on end, surrendered to the camera eye. There is joy and bliss in our clumsy witless slo-mo banter and even your carpet is smiling at me. We switch between languages and time zones, mixing memories with daydreams. “This train is being held to regulate the service”, we are told and hence we wait together...apart. Cause upside-down or downside-up, we are friends. For life.
