Encore

Nearly four years ago (God, I’ve been doing this too long), I wrote this. It was just a line of thought that I had in the wake of a historical moment that felt like a national twilight of the soul.

I feel foolish, though not for the writing; I stand by every word. I feel foolish for looking back on that day like we were in the seats and it was on a stage. I feel foolish for thinking that most of us were seeing the same thing.

There’s a line in Assassins from “Something Just Broke:” “Made me wonder who we are.”

I feel foolish for wondering.
