Demise

A nice sunny day was the incentive to procure a cup of coffee at the fast food joint in town. Over nine months has elapsed since the last time a visit was made there. Arrival at the gym was offset by over a half-hour as coffee time was observed. Unfortunately, there are no places to sit because of the “super-duper corona” farce.

The mailbox at the Chinatown Post Office was visited prior to coffee time. So far, no copayment billing for the medical lab tests. Hopefully, the costs were completely covered by Medicare as part of the annual physical examination.

Dining out at Ala Moana Center has been limited to two or three days per week, coincident with Panda Express® visits. On the other days, meals are brought back to the mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki. In the last week or so, the self-awareness of being alone became much more prevalent while at Ala Moana Center. Very few people dine out alone, usually only senior citizens. None of them look very content.

Having only a few acquaintances, no friends, and a disassociated family has been been bearable for many moons. However, the desolate nature of “lockdowns” and the use of the ridiculous face mask as a muzzle have both created a hostile landscape, especially for loners. Even at the gym, very few people talk to each other. The whole atmosphere is zombie-like. People now only associate in mini-tribes.

Prior to the “super-duper corona” plan-demic, spare time was always spent loitering in crowded places like Ala Moana Center and the International Marketplace. Just being around people, even without engaging any of them, was a deterrent to aloneness. So much solitary time is spent in the mausoleum now, and that’s clearly not healthy. The Fascists are engaged in genocide, but the fear of death continue to keep the masses in check and, ironically, insure their demise.

Addendum: Anecdotal reports indicate that many friendships, familial bonds, and marriages have dissolved over differences in opinion over “Orange Bad Man,” the rigged 2020 (s)election, “woke” bullshit, “super-duper corona” with its associated Fascist mandates, and the mRNA “vaccine.”
