The Reunion Abolition Act of 2022
It is established that we shall no longer rehearse the past. The chance to meet that moment left the moment that moment left.
Only certainty of plague and uncomfortable doubt surround us. Inescapable through recurring graduations or anniversaries of death.
That wisp of inbreathe is recognition that memories don’t align. An inward sigh we dare not share.
Unlike the car wreck curiosity that propels so many into disappointing hotel rooms with unmerciful mirrors and inadequate light.
Amidst other echoes of previous name-tagged events, we fail to reduce the distance of time.
Therefore, enacted on this day, no longer shall our phones vibrate the news that reunion is nigh.
Mickey says it’s time to embrace yourself, whoever you are these days.
