Get Up

Get up.
Breathe freely.
Eat freely.
Work freely.
Walk freely.
Meet freely.
Talk freely.
Sleep freely.
Again freely.

Praise this repetitive cycle of actions,
lean into its Ground Hog Day sameness.

Appreciate the constitutional miracles needed for it to happen, 
day after day, year in and year out.

Support all efforts to protest 
threats to this beloved rut.
